Build a wheelchair ramp for Iman in Los Angeles
Help Iman regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇸 California, United States430 views
Iman has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Iman 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, 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 Iman's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Los Angeles
Thinking of you and your family, Rania. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Keep going, Rania. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Best of luck. Get well soon. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Addis Ababa.

take care, Rania. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 16 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Sending strength, Rania. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Munich

wishing you peace, Rania. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Ubud so I could bring a meal
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Colombo.
best of luck, Rania. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
you're not alone, Rania. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Üsküdar so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Coimbatore.
Keep going, Rania. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Jakarta Selatan but we're thinking of you. Blessings!
