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

Jewel has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jewel 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jewel's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
sending strength, Sajib. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
