Build a wheelchair ramp for Rubina in Gazipur
Help Rubina regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh554 views
Rubina has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rubina 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Rubina's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you peace, Babu. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 36 people at work. Greetings from Juiz de Fora
