Build a wheelchair ramp for Babar in Karachi
Help Babar regain independence: a simple ramp build.
๐ต๐ฐ Sindh, Pakistan802 views
Babar has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Babar 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Babar's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
best of luck. This could happen to any of us.
