Gregory can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Derry.
🇬🇧 Derry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom1,317 views
Gregory has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Gregory 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, 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 Gregory's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Gloria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
