Build a wheelchair ramp for Pedro in Angeles
Pedro uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇵🇭 Pampanga, Philippines1,288 views
Pedro has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Pedro 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Pedro's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Angeles.
You're not alone, Hazel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
rooting for you, Hazel. It takes guts to ask. Well done

So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from New York
