Lincoln can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Lincoln regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇸 California, United States981 views
Lincoln has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Lincoln 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Lincoln's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

hang in there, Julian. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Rooting for you, Julian. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in São Paulo but we're thinking of you
