Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Marcel
Marcel uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Germany745 views
Marcel has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Marcel 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Marcel's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Valencia so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope May is when things finally get easier
Rooting for you, Ingrid. Shared this with my family. All the best.
