Minh can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Thủ Đức.
🇻🇳 Thủ Đức, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam158 views
Minh has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Minh 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 Minh's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Stay strong, Tài. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
