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

Caio has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Caio 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 Caio's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Get well soon. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from New Delhi.
Rooting for you, Marcelo. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hang in there, Marcelo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bellevue
Hang in there, Marcelo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Hanoi but we're thinking of you.
Stay strong, Marcelo. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Cape Town
wishing Caio a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 36 people at work. All the best
