Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Ngọc
Help Ngọc regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇻🇳 Cần Thơ, Cần Thơ, Vietnam872 views
Ngọc has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ngọc 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 building-code slope requirement, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Ngọc's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Đào. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Lagos.
Good luck, Đào. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
stay strong, Đào. Get well soon.
So sorry you're going through this, Đào. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
