Liam can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Springfield.
🇺🇸 Springfield, Illinois, United States571 views
Liam has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Liam 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 Liam's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Stay strong, Kevin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Hope it all works out, Kevin. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Oakland but we're thinking of you.
sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Springfield.
so sorry you're going through this, Kevin. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan
Hope things get better soon, Kevin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
