A ramp for Emon: volunteers and tools needed
Emon uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Emon has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Emon 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Emon's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Babu. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Wishing Emon a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Sending strength, Babu. Wishing Emon a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Gazipur.
