Build a wheelchair ramp for Serge in Paris
Help Serge regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France956 views
Serge has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Serge 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 Serge's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
