Build a wheelchair ramp for Zenaida in Santa Rosa

Help Zenaida regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Santa Rosa
Zenaida has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Zenaida 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 Zenaida's family will cook lunch for the team. Glad we found this place.

      Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Odesa

        take care, Gianna. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
