Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Alexa
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in London.

Alexa has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Alexa 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 Alexa's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, William. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of London!
