Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Jocelyn
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Makati.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines201 views
Jocelyn has used a wheelchair since 2021, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jocelyn 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 Jocelyn's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Sheffield donated after I showed her your page. Love from Sheffield
Wishing you peace, Trisha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Córdoba.
