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

Erica has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Erica 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Erica's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 18 people at work. Love from Envigado
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
