Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Martina

Help Martina regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Salerno
Martina has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Martina 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Martina's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you so much.

                    Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Salerno.
