Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Mahnoor
Mahnoor uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇵🇰 Punjab, Pakistan1,052 views
Mahnoor has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Mahnoor 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 Mahnoor'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.

Sending good thoughts, Hira. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 6 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Seongnam!
