Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Faisal
Help Faisal regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt744 views
Faisal has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Faisal 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Faisal's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

praying for you, Fatima. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
