Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Liliana
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Bogotá.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia882 views
Liliana has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Liliana 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 Liliana's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Bogotá.
