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

Miles has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Miles 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Miles's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you, Evelyn. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Sending love, Evelyn. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Denver.
