Build a wheelchair ramp for Sun-hee in Gangnam
Help Sun-hee regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇰🇷 Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea1,056 views
Sun-hee has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sun-hee 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Sun-hee's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

best of luck, Hyun-woo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Zapopan donated after I showed her your page.
Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
