Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Brian
Brian uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Brian has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Brian 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Brian's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Leipzig but we're thinking of you. All the best.
sending love, Sebastian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Palmira.
