A ramp for Do-yoon: volunteers and tools needed
Help Do-yoon regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇸 California, United States371 views
Do-yoon has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Do-yoon 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 Do-yoon's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Fresno
Best of luck, Bo-ra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
Take care. Hope this works out for you. After 9 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Fresno.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Santa Rosa
Hang in there, Bo-ra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. After 17 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength, Bo-ra. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Bo-ra. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings
Sending strength, Bo-ra. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope things get better soon, Bo-ra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Good luck, Bo-ra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.

Thanks for sharing this, Bo-ra. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Fresno
