Koen can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Eindhoven.
🇳🇱 Eindhoven, North Brabant, Netherlands1,193 views
Koen has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Koen 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Koen's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you, Sander. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Nuremberg so I could bring a meal.
Looking forward to the next update. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Love from Tiruchirappalli.
You're not alone, Sander. Hope the doctors have good news
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hang in there, Sander. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Magelang
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
Stay strong, Sander. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Eindhoven
Hope things get better soon, Sander. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal. Love from Durham.
Stay strong, Sander. Looking forward to the next update.
