Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Szymon
Szymon uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom483 views
Szymon has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Szymon 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 Szymon's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Robert. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Robert. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Leeds
Best of luck, Robert. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 20 people at work. Take care.
You're not alone, Robert. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Lagos donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
