Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Hatice

Help Hatice regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Hatice has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Hatice 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Hatice's family will cook lunch for the team. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Take care, Burcu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

    • So sorry you're going through this, Burcu. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Antalya
