Vanessa can't leave home - help build a ramp
Vanessa uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines1,491 views
Vanessa has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Vanessa 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Vanessa's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone, Allan. Wishing Vanessa a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Quezon City.
Thinking of you and your family, Allan. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Awka donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Quezon City
