Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Landon
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Chattanooga.

Landon has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Landon 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Landon's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Jacob. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Jacob. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Zapopan.
Hope it all works out, Jacob. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!

wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
