Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Giza.

Giza
Hamza has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Hamza 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Hamza's family will cook lunch for the team. Glad we found this place.

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

        Sending love, Lina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Faisalabad.
