Build a wheelchair ramp for Leo in Makati
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Makati.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines678 views
Leo has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Leo 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Leo's family will cook lunch for the team.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you, Rey. This could happen to any of us. Take care
Wishing you the best, Rey. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Saint-Denis donated after I showed her your page.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 22 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

Wishing you peace, Rey. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Adama.

Wishing you peace, Rey. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Makati.
