Build a wheelchair ramp for Nenita in Makati
Nenita uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines175 views
Nenita has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Nenita 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Nenita's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Toronto but we're thinking of you.
