Build a wheelchair ramp for Mason in San Diego
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in San Diego.

Mason has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Mason 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Mason's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Take care, Beau. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Thinking of you. 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!
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
