Jihan can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Semarang.
🇮🇩 Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia791 views
Jihan has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jihan 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jihan's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Pandu. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Semarang
Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Semarang.
You're not alone, Pandu. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning. God bless!
Wishing you peace, Pandu. Wishing Jihan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Aberdeen.
So sorry you're going through this, Pandu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Osaka so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Pandu. Hope you get there. Love from Surabaya.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
