A ramp for Andreas: volunteers and tools needed
Help Andreas regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇩🇪 Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany89 views
Andreas has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Andreas 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Andreas's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Karlsruhe.
Wishing Andreas a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together.
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Karlsruhe.
