Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Hiroshi
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Kobe.

Hiroshi has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Hiroshi 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 Hiroshi's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Lalitpur so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Malang.
Thanks for sharing this, Atsushi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Kobe.
