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

Elena has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Elena 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Elena's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong, Alexandra. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
