Build a wheelchair ramp for Nida in Karachi
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Karachi.
🇵🇰 Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan222 views
Nida has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Nida 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Nida's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Karachi.
Wishing you peace, Eman. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
