Eri can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Shinjuku.
🇯🇵 Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan721 views
Eri has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Eri 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Eri's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

keep going, Harumi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Brisbane this morning.
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.

Keep going, Harumi. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings

Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Nsukka so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
