Óscar can't leave home - help build a ramp

Óscar uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Óscar has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Óscar 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 six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Óscar's family will cook lunch for the team. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
