A ramp for Oğuz: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Istanbul.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye125 views
Oğuz has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Oğuz 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Oğuz's family will cook lunch for the team.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Dwarka so I could bring a meal.
Wishing Oğuz a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Stay strong, Songül. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 10 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Istanbul.
