Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Coatzacoalcos.

Beatriz has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Beatriz 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Beatriz's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in București donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from București

You're not alone, Nicolás. Gave what I could, wish it was more.

Good luck, Nicolás. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
Take care, Nicolás. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
