Itzel can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Ciudad de México.
🇲🇽 Ciudad de México, Mexico704 views
Itzel has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Itzel 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 Itzel's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Gonzalo. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
