Isla can't leave home - help build a ramp

Help Isla regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Isla has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Isla 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Isla's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you so much.

    Hang in there, Kendall. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

        Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Johannesburg.

          I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
