Build a wheelchair ramp for Luciana in São Paulo
Help Luciana regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil237 views
Luciana has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Luciana 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Luciana's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck, Mariana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of São Paulo.
Thanks for sharing this, Mariana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
