A ramp for Olof: volunteers and tools needed
Help Olof regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇸🇪 Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden236 views
Olof has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Olof 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 Olof's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal. Love from İzmir
Best of luck, Nils. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
