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

Jacques has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jacques 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 Jacques's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family, Megan. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in The Hague donated after I showed her your page.
Keep going, Megan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
you're not alone, Megan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Faisalabad
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
