A ramp for Nadia: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Medina.

Nadia has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Nadia 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Nadia's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you the best, Abdullah. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Dortmund this morning.
Best of luck, Abdullah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Medina.
