Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Vy
Help Vy regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇻🇳 Hanoi, Vietnam712 views
Vy has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Vy 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 Vy's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

praying for you. Wishing Vy a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to San Francisco so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength, Anh. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Anh. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope it all works out, Anh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
