Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Miguel
Help Miguel regain independence: a simple ramp build.
馃嚙馃嚪 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil206 views
Miguel has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Miguel 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Miguel's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Take care, Larissa. Shared it with a few friends. After 18 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Best of luck, Larissa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Dhaka
Good luck, Larissa. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 40 people at work. All the best.
