Như has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Như 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Như's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, Huyền. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Paris this morning.
Shared this with my family. Love from Zaria
Stay strong, Huyền. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.
