Emmanuel can't leave home - help build a ramp

Help Emmanuel regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Emmanuel has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Emmanuel 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, 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 Emmanuel's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

        Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Colombo.
