Build a wheelchair ramp for Kathleen in Quezon City
Kathleen uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Kathleen has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kathleen 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, 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 Kathleen's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
