Build a wheelchair ramp for Boonmee in Bangkok
Boonmee uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Thailand1,063 views
Boonmee has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Boonmee 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Boonmee's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Keep going, Yodchai. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Bangkok.
Take care, Yodchai. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
good luck, Yodchai. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending strength, Yodchai. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Wishing you peace, Yodchai. Wishing Boonmee a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Lethbridge
thanks for sharing this, Yodchai. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
