Build a wheelchair ramp for Susanne in Berlin
Susanne uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Berlin, Germany1,209 views
Susanne has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Susanne 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Susanne's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Munich.
