A ramp for Merve: volunteers and tools needed
Merve uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇹🇷 Bursa, Bursa, Türkiye906 views
Merve has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Merve 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Merve's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Uğur. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
