Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Zoé
Zoé uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Zoé has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Zoé 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Zoé's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Cambridge donated after I showed her your page.
Take care, Nicolas. Wishing Zoé a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Limoges.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mapo.
