Haris can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Rawalpindi.
🇵🇰 Punjab, Pakistan750 views
Haris has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Haris 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Haris's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Keep going, Salman. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Rawalpindi.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. After 17 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything
