Geneviève can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Amiens.
🇫🇷 Amiens, Hauts-de-France, France314 views
Geneviève has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Geneviève 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 Geneviève's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Jakarta
Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. After 8 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
you're not alone. Hope you get there. Greetings from Warangal.
Hope it all works out, Florence. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up.
