Grace can't leave home - help build a ramp

Grace uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Grace has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Grace 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 twelve hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Grace's family will cook lunch for the team. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Made a real difference

    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.

    You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Miami this morning. Take care.
