Build a wheelchair ramp for Tuhin in Khulna
Help Tuhin regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇩 Khulna, Khulna, Bangladesh1,016 views
Tuhin has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Tuhin 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Tuhin's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you, Tania. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 10 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
