Filippo can't leave home - help build a ramp
Filippo uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇹 Lombardy, Italy222 views
Filippo has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Filippo 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Filippo's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
