Build a wheelchair ramp for Waylon in Scranton

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

Waylon has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Waylon 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 six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Waylon's family will cook lunch for the team. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Ankara.
