Wyatt can't leave home - help build a ramp
Wyatt uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia1,190 views
Wyatt has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Wyatt 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 Wyatt's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, Wendy. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Greetings from Sacramento.
Sending love, Wendy. Hope you get there. I hope June is when things finally get easier. God bless
