Build a wheelchair ramp for Ting in Toronto
Help Ting regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada569 views
Ting has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ting 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 Ting's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best, Lei. Wishing Ting a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from São Paulo.
you're not alone, Lei. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.

Take care, Lei. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Lei. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Toronto.
