Build a wheelchair ramp for Pornpimol in Chiang Mai

Pornpimol uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Pornpimol has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Pornpimol 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 six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Pornpimol's family will cook lunch for the team. Glad we found this place.

  • Stay strong. Wishing Pornpimol a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Rochester so I could bring a meal. Take care.
