Hiba can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Mecca.
🇸🇦 Mecca, Makkah, Saudi Arabia1,171 views
Hiba has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Hiba 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Hiba's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Best of luck, Rima. Get well soon. Thinking of Mecca.
So sorry you're going through this, Rima. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.
Wishing Hiba a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Sending love, Rima. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Pune
