Build a wheelchair ramp for Manuel in Puebla

Help Manuel regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Puebla
Manuel has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Manuel 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, 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 Manuel's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

        Good luck, Rosa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Narayanganj!
