Build a wheelchair ramp for Tomasz in Warsaw
Help Tomasz regain independence: a simple ramp build.
šµš± Masovia, Poland331 views
Tomasz has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Tomasz 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Tomasz's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Aleksandra. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Warsaw.
Stay strong, Aleksandra. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 26 people at work. Take care.
Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Saket.
