Build a wheelchair ramp for Ties in Utrecht
Help Ties regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇳🇱 Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands553 views
Ties has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ties 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Ties's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.
