A ramp for Stefan: volunteers and tools needed
Help Stefan regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇩🇪 Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany745 views
Stefan has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Stefan 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 Stefan's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Good luck. Wishing Stefan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Bakersfield.
You're not alone, Wolfgang. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Södertälje donated after I showed her your page. Love from Södertälje.
thinking of you and your family, Wolfgang. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Paris donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there, Wolfgang. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 33 people at work. Greetings from Tehuacán
