Samantha can't leave home - help build a ramp

Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Anaheim.

Samantha has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Samantha 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Samantha's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Hang in there, Stella. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

      take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.

              Thanks for sharing this, Stella. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
