Wendy can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Wendy regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇸 California, United States1,438 views
Wendy has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Wendy 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Wendy's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Jayden. Shared this with my family. God bless.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
Praying for you, Jayden. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in San Sebastián but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
