Build a wheelchair ramp for Phong in Hanoi
Phong uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇻🇳 Hanoi, Vietnam726 views
Phong has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Phong 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Phong's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Minh. Get well soon. God bless.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Hanoi.
You're not alone, Minh. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Kobe.
