Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Huda
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Cairo.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt992 views
Huda has used a wheelchair since 2021, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Huda 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Huda's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this, Salim. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
thinking of you, Salim. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Salim. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Cairo
