Denise can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Denise regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇸 California, United States777 views
Denise has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Denise 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Denise's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this, Aurora. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Badagry.
so sorry you're going through this, Aurora. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Onitsha.
thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Juiz de Fora so I could bring a meal. Greetings from London.
So sorry you're going through this, Aurora. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes!
Sending good thoughts, Aurora. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
wishing Denise a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
Keep going, Aurora. I hope things turn around soon.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of San Diego.
Hope you get there. We're a small family in Mohammedia but we're thinking of you
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Los Angeles
Wishing you peace, Aurora. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
You're not alone, Aurora. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from El Paso.
