Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Mousumi
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Dhaka.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,435 views
Mousumi has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Mousumi 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Mousumi'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.

Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Dhaka.
Rooting for you, Faruk. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope it all works out, Faruk. Wishing Mousumi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
hang in there, Faruk. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
