Build a wheelchair ramp for Rima in Gazipur
Help Rima regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇩 Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh158 views
Rima has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rima 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Rima's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Jerusalem.
Sending love, Parvin. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
you're not alone, Parvin. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Gazipur!
Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Nha Trang.
