Build a wheelchair ramp for Afshan in Lahore

Afshan uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Afshan has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Afshan 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 Afshan's family will cook lunch for the team. Glad we found this place.

      Hope things get better soon, Saad. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
