A ramp for Taslima: volunteers and tools needed
Help Taslima regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇩 Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,133 views
Taslima has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Taslima 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 Taslima's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Good luck, Parvin. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
You're not alone. Hope you get there. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
sending love, Parvin. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
