Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Jin-ah
Jin-ah uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇰🇷 Seoul, South Korea376 views
Jin-ah has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jin-ah 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jin-ah's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.
