Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Piper

Help Piper regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Piper has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Piper 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 Piper's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Best of luck, Cooper. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • Theo Schäfer

      Hang in there, Cooper. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.

      • Monica Villa

        Take care, Cooper. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
