A ramp for Dmitry: volunteers and tools needed
Help Dmitry regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇦 Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine866 views
Dmitry has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Dmitry 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Dmitry's family will cook lunch for the team.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Ahmedabad so I could bring a meal. Love from Leeds.
Sending good thoughts, Veronika. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours
Wishing you peace, Veronika. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Greetings from San Francisco.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Kharkiv Oblast. I'll ask around and let you know.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Kharkiv.
