Somsak can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Chiang Mai.
🇹🇭 Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, Thailand561 views
Somsak has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Somsak 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Somsak's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
