Yuri can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Yuri regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇷🇺 Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia1,571 views
Yuri has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Yuri 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Yuri's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
