Shanice can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Shanice regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇿🇦 Gauteng, South Africa1,021 views
Shanice has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Shanice 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Shanice's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

keep going, Suren. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Johannesburg.
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Salem.
wishing you peace, Suren. Wishing Shanice a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
