Build a wheelchair ramp for Hiroto in Tokyo

Hiroto uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

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

    sending good thoughts, Taiga. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.

    • wishing Hiroto a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Fresno so I could bring a meal.

      • best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care.
