Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Laura
Help Laura regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇫🇷 Île-de-France, France1,170 views
Laura has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Laura 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Laura's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Ethan. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
you're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Paris.
