Hande can't leave home - help build a ramp

Help Hande regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Kadıköy
Hande has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Hande 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 Hande's family will cook lunch for the team. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Kadıköy.

    • Sending good thoughts, Sevgi. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
