Luxor
Adel has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Adel 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 ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Adel's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you for reading my story.

  • Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. Take care

    • shared this with my family. After 24 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Muzaffarpur!

      • Keep going, Manal. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in İzmir this morning.

        • Hope things get better soon, Manal. Wishing Adel a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

          • a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Luxor. I'll ask around and let you know

            • so sorry you're going through this, Manal. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Cox's Bazar

              • Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 30 people at work

                • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Accra

                  • Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

                    • hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
