A ramp for Vitaly: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Odesa.
🇺🇦 Odesa Oblast, Ukraine678 views
Vitaly has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Vitaly 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 building-code slope requirement, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Vitaly's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Abbottabad donated after I showed her your page. Love from Abbottabad

good luck, Galina. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.

So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
