Mei has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Mei 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 twelve hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Mei's family will cook lunch for the team. Thanks for being kind about this.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Kazuo. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up.

    • You're not alone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Johannesburg but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Sapporo.
