Build a wheelchair ramp for Travis in Ottawa
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Ottawa.
🇨🇦 Ontario, Canada148 views
Travis has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Travis 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Travis's family will cook lunch for the team.

Thinking of you and your family, Daniel. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Mumbai
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Swansea!
