Inés can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Inés regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇸 North Carolina, United States80 views
Inés has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Inés 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Inés's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Amparo. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
