Lieke can't leave home - help build a ramp
Lieke uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇳🇱 Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands1,165 views
Lieke has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Lieke 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Lieke's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family, Eva. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Rooting for you, Eva. Hope you get there. Take care.
hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
