Enrico can't leave home - help build a ramp

Help Enrico regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Enrico has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Enrico 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 Enrico's family will cook lunch for the team. I hope life is good to you.

    Quick response, great follow-up

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.
