Arif can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Arif regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇩 Sylhet, Bangladesh101 views
Arif has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Arif 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Arif's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

So sorry you're going through this, Salma. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
