Heinz can't leave home - help build a ramp

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

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

      Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Manchester.

        Thinking of you. Wishing Heinz a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Augsburg
