Jomar can't leave home - help build a ramp

Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Makati.

Makati
Jomar has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jomar 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 ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jomar's family will cook lunch for the team. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Best of luck, Gemma. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings

      wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Makati.

        hope it all works out, Gemma. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Jeddah but we're thinking of you.

          So sorry you're going through this, Gemma. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
