Build a wheelchair ramp for Maja in Gdańsk
Help Maja regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇵🇱 Gdańsk, Pomerania, Poland89 views
Maja has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Maja 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 Maja's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

sending good thoughts. Wishing Maja a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Love from Chennai.
