Build a wheelchair ramp for Viktoria in Kharkiv
Viktoria uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇺🇦 Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine524 views
Viktoria has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Viktoria 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 Viktoria's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Vera. Hope you get there. Love from Fresno.
Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Kharkiv.
