Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Natalie

Natalie uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Natalie has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Natalie 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 twelve hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Natalie's family will cook lunch for the team. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
