Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Barbara

Barbara uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Barbara has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Barbara 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Barbara's family will cook lunch for the team. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Sending strength, Raffaele. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Coventry this morning. Greetings from Coventry.

        Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.

        • Despina Zafeiriou

          Keep going, Raffaele. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Tuxtla Gutiérrez this morning. Thinking of Salerno.

              Sending good thoughts, Raffaele. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best

                  I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Salerno.

                    Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Córdoba
