Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Cris
Cris uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇵🇭 Laguna, Philippines1,119 views
Cris has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Cris 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Cris's family will cook lunch for the team.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
