Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Esteban
Esteban uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Spain842 views
Esteban has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Esteban 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, 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 Esteban's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Madrid
