Build a wheelchair ramp for Maksym in Kyiv
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Kyiv.
🇺🇦 Kyiv, Ukraine865 views
Maksym has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Maksym 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 Maksym's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

hope it all works out, Timur. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Kyiv.
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Pretoria.
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Kyiv
