Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Aisha
Help Aisha regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇪🇬 Alexandria, Egypt310 views
Aisha has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Aisha 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 Aisha's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

thanks for sharing this, Ines. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Keep going, Ines. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Alexandria.
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Love from San Jose.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
keep going, Ines. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thinking of you and your family, Ines. Wishing Aisha a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Bogra so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Alexandria.
