Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Gangnam.

Gangnam
Soo-jin has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Soo-jin 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Soo-jin's family will cook lunch for the team. I hope life is good to you.

          Good luck, Ji-yeon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
