Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Maliha

Maliha uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Maliha has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Maliha 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Maliha's family will cook lunch for the team. I hope life is good to you.

    Thanks for sharing this, Shapla. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings

      Hope things get better soon, Shapla. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        Thinking of you, Shapla. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
