Build a wheelchair ramp for Sakda in Phuket
Help Sakda regain independence: a simple ramp build.
๐น๐ญ Phuket, Phuket, Thailand504 views
Sakda has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sakda 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Sakda's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Orawan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Quezon City.
