Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Allison
Help Allison regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇦🇺 Adelaide, South Australia, Australia1,233 views
Allison has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Allison 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 Allison's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.
