Zuzanna can't leave home - help build a ramp
Zuzanna uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇵🇱 Silesia, Poland925 views
Zuzanna has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Zuzanna 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Zuzanna's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

good luck, Wojciech. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Granada donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
