Build a wheelchair ramp for Jin-ah in Arlington
Jin-ah uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States584 views
Jin-ah has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jin-ah 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jin-ah's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Do-hyun. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Iztapalapa.
