A ramp for Hyun-woo: volunteers and tools needed
Hyun-woo uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇰🇷 Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea1,262 views
Hyun-woo has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Hyun-woo 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 Hyun-woo's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Rooting for you, Hae-won. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Indore.
