Dolores can't leave home - help build a ramp
Dolores uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Dolores has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Dolores 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 Dolores's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Greetings from Manila.
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Campinas!
so sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Nakhon Ratchasima this morning. Blessings.
keep going, Inés. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
