A ramp for My: volunteers and tools needed

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

My has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment My 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 twelve hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and My's family will cook lunch for the team. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Miami so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Saint Paul.

      Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Nijmegen.

        Hope it all works out, Vinh. Get well soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City!
