Build a wheelchair ramp for Zulkifli in Makassar
Help Zulkifli regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇮🇩 Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia767 views
Zulkifli has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Zulkifli 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Zulkifli's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

you're not alone, Hesti. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
