Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Jomar
Jomar uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines1,006 views
Jomar has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jomar 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 building-code slope requirement, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jomar's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 23 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Hang in there, Leo. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update!
