Build a wheelchair ramp for Taylor in Fresno

Help Taylor regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Taylor has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Taylor 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 twelve hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Taylor's family will cook lunch for the team. Glad we found this place.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
