Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Patricia

Help Patricia regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Patricia has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Patricia 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 Patricia's family will cook lunch for the team. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

    • Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Tokyo so I could bring a meal. Love from Rohini
