Build a wheelchair ramp for Sheila in Angeles
Sheila uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Sheila has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sheila 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Sheila's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Good luck, Jocelyn. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending love. Wishing Sheila a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care!
