# Help Me Build Safe Stairs: A Little Old Lady's Home Renovation Reality Check
**The Problem:**
My current staircase has become a daily safety hazard. It takes me 10 minutes to climb up and 5 minutes to come down—with no safety railings. What should be a simple trip between floors has become genuinely dangerous and unsustainable for daily living.
**The Solution:**
I need to rebuild my stairwell with:
- Shallower rise steps for easier navigation
- Safety handrails on both sides
- Proper construction that meets safety standards
**The Opportunity:**
I'm incredibly grateful to have a generous benefactor who has offered to renovate my bathroom, install plumbing, and transform my garden. However, the stairwell reconstruction exceeds what they can cover. They've suggested this GoFundMe campaign, and if we reach the goal, their contractors can complete the entire project—including the crucial stairwell work.
**Why I'm Asking:**
As a small YouTuber sharing my honest renovation journey (19,042 subscribers and counting! [
but snags occurring in YouTube monetization :(] ), I've learned that sometimes we need to adjust our dreams to match reality. Right now, my reality is that I can't safely access the upper floor of my own home.
Your support wouldn't just help me build safer stairs—it would allow me to continue documenting this real, sometimes messy, but always honest renovation journey that we're taking together.
**The Goal:**
Every contribution brings me closer to a home where I can move safely between floors and continue sharing this adventure with you.
Thank you for considering supporting this next chapter of my renovation story.
