Sophie can't leave home - help build a ramp
Sophie uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Sophie has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sophie 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 Sophie's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Jinja
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Bangkok!
Sending strength, Florian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care!
