Eva can't leave home - help build a ramp

Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Uppsala.

Uppsala
Eva has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Eva 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 ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Eva's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Exceeded expectations

    This is the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity. They didn't just offer help; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and followed through on every commitment.

    Helped when no one else could

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
