Nam can't leave home - help build a ramp

Nam uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Da Nang
Nam has used a wheelchair since 2021, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Nam 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 Nam's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

      I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal.

      • Aravind S. Bhat

        Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Coimbatore but we're thinking of you

        • Brenda S. Robinson

          Shared it with a few friends. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
