Halyna has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Halyna 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 ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Halyna's family will cook lunch for the team. Thanks for being kind about this.

    rooting for you, Alyona. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

    • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Moscow.

      • So sorry you're going through this, Alyona. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.

        • Rooting for you, Alyona. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!

          • Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
