Build a wheelchair ramp for Alp in Kadıköy
Alp uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇹🇷 Kadıköy, Istanbul, Türkiye100 views
Alp has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Alp 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Alp's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts, Fatma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Edinburgh
Hope it all works out, Fatma. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Hubballi
thanks for sharing this, Fatma. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Alp a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Kadıköy.
