Jack can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Los Angeles.

Jack has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jack 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jack's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Maya. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Please keep us posted
hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Malang so I could bring a meal.
Hope it all works out, Maya. Your post was clear and honest.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Nakuru.
Sending strength, Maya. Shared it with a few friends. After 23 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Los Angeles.
