Build a wheelchair ramp for Ronaldo in Belo Horizonte
Help Ronaldo regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇷 Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil882 views
Ronaldo has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ronaldo 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Ronaldo's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Guilherme. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Belo Horizonte.
You're not alone, Guilherme. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Belo Horizonte.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
