Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Liam
Liam uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Liam has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Liam 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Liam's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Saint Petersburg.
You're not alone, Brandon. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Love from Ubud
Sending good thoughts, Brandon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 27 people at work.
