Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Kimberly
Kimberly uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States509 views
Kimberly has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kimberly 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 Kimberly's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

sending love. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of San Antonio
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Tiruchirappalli donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, Cooper. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
