Build a wheelchair ramp for Louise in Paris

Help Louise regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Paris
Louise has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Louise 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 Louise's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

      So sorry you're going through this, Hugo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Cologne donated after I showed her your page.

            Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Hanoi so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Paris
