Build a wheelchair ramp for Do-hyun in Gangnam
Help Do-hyun regain independence: a simple ramp build.
๐ฐ๐ท Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea75 views
Do-hyun has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Do-hyun 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 Do-hyun's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
