Manolis can't leave home - help build a ramp
Manolis uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇬🇷 Attica, Greece487 views
Manolis has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Manolis 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Manolis's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace, Panagiotis. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Piraeus.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Bangkok
Rooting for you, Panagiotis. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Mumbai
