Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Pablo
Help Pablo regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇲🇽 Yucatán, Mexico1,161 views
Pablo has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Pablo 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Pablo's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Hope it all works out, Carmen. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Manchester.
You're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
