Help Okan regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Okan has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Okan 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 Okan's family will cook lunch for the team. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Keep going, Elif. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless

      Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Okan a smooth procedure and a full recovery.

        You're not alone, Elif. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bogor.

          Take care, Elif. I hope things turn around soon.

            Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 19 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
