Build a wheelchair ramp for Junior in Mandeville
Help Junior regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇯🇲 Manchester, Jamaica871 views
Junior has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Junior can only go outside when two neighbors are available to lift the chair.
The materials (treated timber, screws and non-slip surface) have been donated by a local lumberyard. We need a carpenter or two to measure, cut and build, plus a helper or two.
The ramp has to meet the building-code slope requirement, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Junior's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Manchester. I'll ask around and let you know!
keep going, Rohan. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thinking of you. Wishing Junior a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Jakarta.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Angeles but we're thinking of you.
Keep going, Rohan. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Sending strength, Rohan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
Sending strength, Rohan. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Junior a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 9 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Keep going. Hope you get there. Love from Üsküdar.
