A ramp for Viktor: volunteers and tools needed
Help Viktor regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇦 Odesa, Odesa Oblast, Ukraine947 views
Viktor has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Viktor 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Viktor's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

so sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Love from Dar es Salaam.
good luck. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Jeddah.
keep going, Alexei. I hope things turn around soon. After 6 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Odesa
wishing you peace, Alexei. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Odesa.
