Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Erdem

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

Erdem has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Erdem 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 twelve hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Erdem's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

            Hang in there, Ömer. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
