Build a wheelchair ramp for Do-yoon in Mapo

Help Do-yoon regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Mapo
Do-yoon has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Do-yoon 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 six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Do-yoon's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you so much.
