A ramp for Nahid: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Chattogram.
🇧🇩 Chattogram, Bangladesh481 views
Nahid has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Nahid 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Nahid's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you, Nasrin. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Chennai so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there, Nasrin. 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. All the best.
