Hélène can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Paris.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France71 views
Hélène has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Hélène 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Hélène's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending strength, René. 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.
