A ramp for Bagus: volunteers and tools needed
Bagus uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇩 Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia440 views
Bagus has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Bagus 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Bagus's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 30 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
