Build a wheelchair ramp for Rocío in Vigo
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Vigo.
🇪🇸 Vigo, Galicia, Spain210 views
Rocío has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rocío 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Rocío's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts, Ignacio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Ignacio. This could happen to any of us. Love from Toulouse!
wishing you the best, Ignacio. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
