Letícia can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Feira de Santana.

Letícia has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Letícia 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 Letícia's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Glendale.
Sending good thoughts, Giovana. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Praying for you, Giovana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
You're not alone, Giovana. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up. All the best
