Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Larissa
Help Larissa regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil398 views
Larissa has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Larissa 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Larissa's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

you're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Hang in there, Priscila. Shared it with a few friends.

This could happen to any of us. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Dhaka.
