Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Arturo
Help Arturo regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇸 Ohio, United States115 views
Arturo has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Arturo 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 Arturo's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace, Sebastián. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Zanzibar City.
thinking of you, Sebastián. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Lahore
Stay strong, Sebastián. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Ekurhuleni.
