Build a wheelchair ramp for Miles in Warren
Help Miles regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇸 Warren, Michigan, United States230 views
Miles has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Miles 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Miles's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Warren.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Kharkiv so I could bring a meal.
