How can my grandmother get someone to donate their skills and services towards building a RAMP for the house?

Question

My grandma has been very sick for awhile and now she cannot walk at all, she hasn't seen the light of day since December because all she can do is be wheeled out onto the porch to look, but thats it, their isnt any money available to build a ramp for her we just hope someone will share some generosity and loving kindness towards this situation, if you can help please contact me at [e-mail] thank you.

Answer 1

If you are really earning 100 a day then perhaps you could help her.  If that is just wishful thinking then try your local Kiwanis club (in many areas they build wheelchair ramps for ppl) and also ask the Senior Center and the United Way in your area what organizations do things like this for disabled ppl.   You might also try going to the main Yahoo page clicking groups, finding Freecycle and Cheapcycle in your area and putting a notice there asking if anyone can donate ramp building or even has a ramp that is no longer needed that could be taken down and put up at your grandma's.

Answer 2

You could have her ask them to offer labor and materials and her payment would be to alert the small town press to take photos and run an article about how this great business is helping a woman who couldn't otherwise afford this thing that she needs. The responce to them would be great and more than make up for the cost it's free publicity.

Answer 3

You might try finding a local FFA chapter that would help he.  Try contactinfg a high shool that has a wood crafter's class.  A ramp does not cost that much.  Ask for donations or ideas from local businesses.

Answer 4

Try contacting your local Boy Scout Troup.  They are always looking for projects....especially a boy working on an Eagle Scout program.
