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

Valentina has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Valentina 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Valentina's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Rafaela. Wishing Valentina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Ribeirão Preto.

Thinking of you, Rafaela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 14 people at work.
