Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Lorena

Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in São Paulo.

Lorena has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Lorena 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, 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 Lorena's family will cook lunch for the team. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    So sorry you're going through this, Aline. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
