A ramp for Nusrat: volunteers and tools needed
Help Nusrat regain independence: a simple ramp build.
๐ง๐ฉ Chattogram, Chattogram, Bangladesh624 views
Nusrat has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Nusrat 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Nusrat's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you, Asif. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Chattogram
