Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Carol

Carol uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Carol has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Carol 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 Carol's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • good luck, Kylie. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.

    • Good luck, Kylie. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Kikuyu.

      • Hope this works out for you. After 20 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
