Build a wheelchair ramp for Sandra in São Paulo
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in São Paulo.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil255 views
Sandra has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sandra 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 Sandra's family will cook lunch for the team.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Gazipur donated after I showed her your page. Take care
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Ahmedabad
Best of luck, Natália. Hope you get there. Sent it to 9 people at work
you're not alone, Natália. Get well soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Keep going, Natália. Hope the doctors have good news. After 22 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
