Build a wheelchair ramp for Mana in Osaka
Mana uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇯🇵 Osaka, Osaka, Japan1,230 views
Mana has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Mana 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Mana's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Eiji. 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. Greetings from Jakarta
Wishing you the best, Eiji. Get well soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Osaka.
