Jamal has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jamal 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 Jamal's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best. Wishing Jamal a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Rooting for you, Osama. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Nakuru
Wishing you the best, Osama. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Take care. Shared this with my family. After 10 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Chennai this morning.
Hope it all works out, Osama. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Duisburg
Take care, Osama. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Rooting for you, Osama. Hope the doctors have good news.
Hang in there, Osama. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hang in there. Get well soon. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Heliopolis.
Thanks for sharing this, Osama. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 24 people at work.
