Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Kenta
Kenta uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Kenta has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kenta 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 Kenta's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care, Haruto. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Cape Coast so I could bring a meal
Sending good thoughts, Haruto. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Denpasar this morning. God bless.
Hang in there, Haruto. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Bonny this morning. Thinking of Nagoya
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Nagoya
hope things get better soon, Haruto. Get well soon. God bless
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Praying for you, Haruto. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
