Isabel can't leave home - help build a ramp

Help Isabel regain independence: a simple ramp build.

🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines175 views

Quezon City
Isabel has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Isabel 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 twelve hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Isabel's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you so much.

    Take care, Mercy. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
