Southampton
Wayne has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Wayne 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 ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Wayne's family will cook lunch for the team. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Good luck, Leah. Wishing Wayne a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best

          This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Depok so I could bring a meal.
