Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Vincent

Vincent uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Vincent has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Vincent 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Vincent's family will cook lunch for the team. I hope life is good to you.

  • best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

    • your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Mississauga but we're thinking of you.
