Corinne can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Paris.
🇫🇷 Île-de-France, France596 views
Corinne has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Corinne 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Corinne's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Wellington
Thinking of you, Nathalie. Your post was clear and honest. After 24 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
