Build a wheelchair ramp for Mason in Sheffield
Help Mason regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇬🇧 Sheffield, England, United Kingdom829 views
Mason has used a wheelchair since 2022, 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Mason's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family, Sebastian. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Praying for you, Sebastian. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together
Thinking of you, Sebastian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Melbourne this morning. Thinking of Sheffield.
You're not alone, Sebastian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Dodoma.
