Isabella has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Isabella 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 six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Isabella's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Beth. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours.

    • Sending good thoughts, Beth. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless

        You're not alone, Beth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from São Paulo

        • Hope it all works out, Beth. Gave what I could, wish it was more.

          • Hang in there, Beth. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
