Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Anwar
Help Anwar regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇪🇬 Shubra, Cairo, Egypt793 views
Anwar has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Anwar 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 Anwar's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Nadia. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Shubra
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Anwar a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
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.
Wishing you the best, Nadia. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't give up. Thinking of Shubra.
