Build a wheelchair ramp for Stella in London

Stella uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Stella has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Stella 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 twelve hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Stella's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

                Hope it all works out, Brooklyn. Hope this works out for you. After 9 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

                • Thanks for sharing this, Brooklyn. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of London
