Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Zahra
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Limoges.
🇫🇷 Limoges, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France887 views
Zahra has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Zahra 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 Zahra's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

wishing Zahra a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family, Leila. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 7 people at work. Love from Santa Rosa.
Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Multan so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Limoges.
This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Coyoacán
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Limoges.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Wishing Zahra a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
