Sergio can't leave home - help build a ramp

Help Sergio regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Mar del Plata
Sergio has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sergio 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Sergio's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

      Rooting for you, Emiliano. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

                  You're not alone, Emiliano. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                            Thinking of you, Emiliano. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
