Sri can't leave home - help build a ramp
Sri uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia391 views
Sri has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sri 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Sri's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Arlington.
rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news.
hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Salem donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
