Build a wheelchair ramp for Laura in Rennes
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Rennes.
🇫🇷 Rennes, Brittany, France466 views
Laura has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Laura 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Laura's family will cook lunch for the team.

Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 13 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
hang in there, Léo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Hobart so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Birmingham
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Kansas City
So sorry you're going through this. Wishing Laura a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Katowice
Best of luck, Léo. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Praying for you, Léo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Dhaka
