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

Willow has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Willow 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 Willow's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Jodhpur donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Birmingham

Sending strength, Denise. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Savannah.

So sorry you're going through this, Denise. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
