Rafiq has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rafiq 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 Rafiq's family will cook lunch for the team. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Ribeirão Preto donated after I showed her your page. Love from Ribeirão Preto.

    • your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Chattogram.

      • Sending love, Popy. Get well soon. Thinking of Chattogram.
