Build a wheelchair ramp for Vinh in Nha Trang
Help Vinh regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇻🇳 Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa, Vietnam1,109 views
Vinh has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Vinh 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Vinh's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Tucson.
sending good thoughts, Nam. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 4 people at work. All the best.
Take care, Nam. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Kolkata.
hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Thane
This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 11 people at work
Rooting for you, Nam. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Vinh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
