Amna can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Amna regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇵🇰 Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan773 views
Amna has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Amna 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 Amna's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength, Mahnoor. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto.
sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
