Yoon-ah has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Yoon-ah 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 Yoon-ah's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
