Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Antônia

Help Antônia regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Antônia has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Antônia 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Antônia's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you so much.

    I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Thinking of Santarém.

    • Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Ciudad de México this morning. Take care
