Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Melanie
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Riverside.

Melanie has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Melanie 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Melanie's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
Hope it all works out. Wishing Melanie a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Riverside
