Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Theodore

Help Theodore regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Theodore has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Theodore 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 six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Theodore's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
