A ramp for Jürgen: volunteers and tools needed
Help Jürgen regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇩🇪 Hesse, Germany1,349 views
Jürgen has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jürgen 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 Jürgen's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

good luck, Lea. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Take care, Lea. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Kassel.
hang in there, Lea. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 18 people at work. Take care
Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Kassel.
