Sombat can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Sombat regain independence: a simple ramp build.
š¹š Bang Khen, Bangkok, Thailand868 views
Sombat has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sombat 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Sombat's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending love, Krit. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from San Jose.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
