Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Popy
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Dhaka.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh799 views
Popy has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Popy 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Popy's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

hang in there, Rina. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Kadıköy.
Thinking of you and your family, Rina. Wishing Popy a smooth procedure and a full recovery. It's not much but it's yours
Thinking of you and your family, Rina. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Negombo this morning.
Good luck, Rina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 18 people at work. Take care.
