Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Nihal
Help Nihal regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye1,622 views
Nihal has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Nihal 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 Nihal's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family, Ahmet. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Rawalpindi donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Fresno but we're thinking of you. Take care
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
stay strong, Ahmet. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Ahmet. Hope you get there.
