Carolina can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Carolina regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇷 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil591 views
Carolina has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Carolina 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Carolina's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Mar del Plata.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 40 people at work. Thinking of Duque de Caxias.
rooting for you. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
