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

Renate has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Renate 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Renate's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Bilbao donated after I showed her your page.
Hope you get there. We're a small family in Dallas but we're thinking of you
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Quetta
