Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Hua
Help Hua regain independence: a simple ramp build.
๐ณ๐ฟ Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand463 views
Hua has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Hua 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Hua's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts, Yi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Auckland.
