Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Arianna
Help Arianna regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇸 Jacksonville, Florida, United States1,858 views
Arianna has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Arianna 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Arianna's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Jacksonville.
