Build a wheelchair ramp for Yupin in Chiang Mai
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Chiang Mai.
🇹🇭 Chiang Mai, Thailand431 views
Yupin has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Yupin 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Yupin's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Wirat. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
So sorry you're going through this, Wirat. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Tiruchirappalli this morning. Thinking of Chiang Mai.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from São Paulo.
Hope it all works out, Wirat. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 27 people at work. All the best.
Sending love, Wirat. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Sending love, Wirat. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Birmingham donated after I showed her your page
Sending love, Wirat. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
you're not alone, Wirat. Hope you get there. Sent it to 32 people at work. Blessings
Sending strength, Wirat. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Wirat. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Chiang Mai.
Good luck, Wirat. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Sukkur but we're thinking of you. Take care
