Ji-hye can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in San Jose.
🇺🇸 California, United States576 views
Ji-hye has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ji-hye 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 Ji-hye's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Eun-ji. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Keep going, Eun-ji. Shared this with my family.
Hope things get better soon, Eun-ji. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Casablanca so I could bring a meal. Thinking of San Jose.
Take care. Wishing Ji-hye a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Reims so I could bring a meal. Blessings!
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of San Jose.
