6th of October City
Mustafa has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Mustafa 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Mustafa's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you for reading my story.

      sending good thoughts, Omar. Your post was clear and honest. After 23 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best!

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
