Sigrid can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Stockholm.
🇸🇪 Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden632 views
Sigrid has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sigrid 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Sigrid's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Stockholm.
hang in there, Filip. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Contagem but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you, Filip. Wishing Sigrid a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Hang in there, Filip. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
