Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Ahmad
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Medan.

Ahmad has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ahmad 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Ahmad's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Odesa donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Hang in there, Rani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Thinking of you, Rani. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
