Paula can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in La Plata.
🇦🇷 La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina898 views
Paula has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Paula 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Paula's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of La Plata.
Good luck, Esteban. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update
Wishing you the best, Esteban. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
