Build a wheelchair ramp for Amir in Aswan
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Aswan.
🇪🇬 Aswan, Egypt615 views
Amir has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Amir 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Amir's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Good luck. Hope you get there. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Sending love, Hiba. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything

Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. After 8 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
You're not alone. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Aswan.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Brampton so I could bring a meal. God bless.
