Build a wheelchair ramp for Lucy in Saint Paul
Lucy uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇺🇸 Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States1,088 views
Lucy has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Lucy 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Lucy's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck, Ezekiel. Looking forward to the next update.
Hope it all works out, Ezekiel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
