Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Jack

Jack uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Jack has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jack 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 Jack's family will cook lunch for the team. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

            I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Manila.
