Simone can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Simone regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil1,080 views
Simone has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Simone 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Simone's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care, Jéssica. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Denpasar.
