Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Slamet

Slamet uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Slamet has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Slamet 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 Slamet's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you for reading my story.

    Shared it with a few friends. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Aswan!

    • Hope things get better soon, Muhammad. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

      • Best of luck, Muhammad. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted

        • take care, Muhammad. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 30 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          • Sending love, Muhammad. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
