Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Jacob
Jacob uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇬🇧 Scotland, United Kingdom292 views
Jacob has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jacob 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jacob's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Hamilton
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Love from Dayton.
