Sebastian can't leave home - help build a ramp
Sebastian uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇬🇧 Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom247 views
Sebastian has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sebastian 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 Sebastian'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.

thinking of you, Rowan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
Keep going, Rowan. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Santos.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Laredo.
