Build a wheelchair ramp for Rahma in San Francisco
Rahma uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Rahma has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rahma 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 Rahma's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of San Francisco.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Peoria
