Build a wheelchair ramp for Marek in Gdańsk
Marek uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇵🇱 Gdańsk, Pomerania, Poland1,367 views
Marek has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Marek 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 Marek's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
