A ramp for Châu: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Cầu Giấy.
🇻🇳 Cầu Giấy, Hanoi, Vietnam765 views
Châu has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Châu 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 Châu's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Nga. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Tucson.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Albany.
