Todd can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Halifax.

Todd has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Todd 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, 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 Todd's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
