Poverty hurts. It causes so many problems. Coupled with #storms made more likely by #climatechange and things get even worse. Throupled with an expensive and overwhelmed health care system and it gets even uglier. Storm blew off front of poorly built home front. Items destroyed. I volunteered #bonareponds to make an emergency #wheelchairramp. Two videos. 6 hours apart. https://www.instagram.com/p/C-Ol3gfuy2N/?igsh=a2dhY3pnaWt1YXJi
Bonaresponds on Instagram: "It was an interesting job today. One lesson we learn after every disaster is that those with few financial resources are hurt the worst. As many of you know the local area was hit with three significant storms this summer. One knocked the roof off a porch in Allegany county. The family couldn’t afford to fix it. Then then needed a wheelchair ramp so they used part of the old roof to make one. There was a lot going on there. (The ambulance has been there 8 times this year! (Or maybe more. 8 times for on of the three people in the house who needed the ramp). Let me let the owner (and person who called us for the job) tell you the story. Before and after. #betternotperfect"

Visiting Mum in hospital this afternoon:

Dad: Alfred and Sue have spent two days building you a ramp for when you come home.

Mum: (to me) Oh good. Can I press the button to make it go up and down whenever I want?

Bloody parental expectations!
Rip it up and start again! <Looks on Ebay for hydraulics>
😂

Mum is clearly getting better. 👍

Just bought a load of timber and decking to build a long wheelchair ramp along the side of the house to the front door (which is part way down the side of the house and not at the front as the name suggests).

Hopefully it will make it easier and safer for Mum when she is out of hospital.

So good to work with my brothers on this #wheelchairramp for my mom. At the ripe age of 91, she’s started having some serious #mobilityissues. Over the course of two days, these two experienced craftsmen and I (much less experienced) cobbled together a plan, procured lumber and hardware, and got the project completed in time for her Monday morning doctor’s appointment. #accessibility
Today’s #construction project: replace these stairs with a #wheelchairRamp for my 91 yr old mom. Luckily, #brotherJeff is lead contractor on this job, not me. #woodButcher #mrBadwrench
