Build a wheelchair ramp for Dedi in Jakarta

Help Dedi regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Jakarta
Dedi has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Dedi 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 Dedi's family will cook lunch for the team. I hope life is good to you.

        Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Jakarta
