Build a wheelchair ramp for Anum in Gujranwala
Anum uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇵🇰 Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan1,748 views
Anum has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Anum 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 Anum's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Praying for you, Imran. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Leicester!

Best of luck, Imran. Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Gujranwala.
Hope it all works out, Imran. Shared this with my family. After 23 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Kassel
Sending love, Imran. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.
