Babu can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Babu regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh1,504 views
Babu has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Babu 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Babu's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts, Tamanna. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. 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
