Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Dong-hyun

Dong-hyun uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Dong-hyun has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Dong-hyun 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Dong-hyun's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you so much.
