Build a wheelchair ramp for Serenity in Columbus
Serenity uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇺🇸 Georgia, United States364 views
Serenity has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Serenity 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Serenity's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Moscow.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
