Build a wheelchair ramp for Noémie in Montpellier
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Montpellier.
🇫🇷 Occitanie, France382 views
Noémie has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Noémie 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Noémie's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

best of luck, Louise. This could happen to any of us. Take care
Praying for you, Louise. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
