Andi has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Andi 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 ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Andi's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    wishing you peace, Wulan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.

    • So sorry you're going through this, Wulan. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

      • Take care, Wulan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!

        • Best of luck, Wulan. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 23 people at work.

          • Wishing you peace, Wulan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 4 people at work. Love from Dublin

            • Take care, Wulan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings

              • Sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Surakarta.
