Ingrid can't leave home - help build a ramp
Ingrid uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Ingrid has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ingrid 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 Ingrid's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.
