A ramp for Sumbal: volunteers and tools needed
Sumbal uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇵🇰 Punjab, Pakistan871 views
Sumbal has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sumbal 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Sumbal's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Faisalabad
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Oakland
Good luck, Talha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out!
So sorry you're going through this, Talha. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings
Wishing you the best, Talha. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Mukono donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Mukono.
