A ramp for Milena: volunteers and tools needed

Milena uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Milena has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Milena 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Milena's family will cook lunch for the team. I hope life is good to you.

      Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. After 23 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Stellenbosch.

        Sending love, Iryna. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        • Tumusiime Kioko Karanja

          Best of luck, Iryna. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 13 people at work. God bless.
