Build a wheelchair ramp for Soledad in Mar del Plata
Soledad uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, Argentina1,124 views
Soledad has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Soledad 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Soledad's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Take care. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
