Lorenzo can't leave home - help build a ramp
Lorenzo uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Lorenzo has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Lorenzo 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 Lorenzo's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care, Raúl. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Gliwice
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Nairobi donated after I showed her your page!
