Oksana can't leave home - help build a ramp
Oksana uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Oksana has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Oksana 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 Oksana's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts. Get well soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Yekaterinburg
Sending strength, Andrei. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Sverdlovsk Oblast. I'll ask around and let you know
Thinking of you and your family, Andrei. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Córdoba.
