A ramp for Henk: volunteers and tools needed
Help Henk regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇳🇱 South Holland, Netherlands535 views
Henk has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Henk 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Henk's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Stay strong, Isa. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Rotterdam.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Cần Thơ but we're thinking of you. Take care.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. After 17 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Hyderabad.
