Question : Does anyone know who I can contact to have a wheelchair ramp built?
I live on a fixed income due to my dissability and cant afford to pay anyone or get a loan to have one built. Any sugestions would be very helpfull.

Answer:
Contact your local Boy Scout Troop. Eagle candidates need to do a service project. They are always on the look out for appropriate tasks. This is exactly the kind of thing they like to do. The only drawback is there is some lag time, because the project needs to be approved by the BSA regional people, before the work can get started. They can fund raise and will work under trained adult supervision. You can even take some satisfaction in that you're helping some hard-working kid achieve a pretty difficult goal.

Question : What is the proper rise for a wheelchair/scooter ramp.?
My porch is 26 inches high, I weigh 170 lbs, and the scooter probably weighs less than 200 lbs

Answer:
ADA requirements are a slope of 1" rise for every 12" of run. This makes for a huge ramp, in your case 26 feet long. That mild slope will allow a person in a wheelchair to make it up the slope unassisted. That being said, you may not need that much. Electric chairs and scooters will list the maximum slope they can handle for a given weight. Since this is personal property, you may not be required to adhear to ADA requirements. I built one here in CA to get into a trailer. We were able to use a 2 in 12 slope (which cuts the length in half). If you have the room, use the lower slope, but that just can't happen all the time. There are other requirements that need to be followed as well. Guard rails are required, and landings if the ramp must turn corners in order to get the length requred. As far as materials, concrete is always the best, but it can be made from wood (attaching the guard rail/ hand rail at the bottom is tricky).

They just need to know who needs help. Perhaps you could get your local newspaper to put out an appeal?
