Build a wheelchair ramp for Salvador in Guadalajara
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Guadalajara.
🇲🇽 Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico795 views
Salvador has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Salvador 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Salvador's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending love, Inés. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. All the best
Stay strong, Inés. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Take care.
rooting for you, Inés. Wishing Salvador a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best
Thinking of you, Inés. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Fresno but we're thinking of you. God bless
