Princess can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Manila.

Princess has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Princess 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Princess's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Sandton.
