Ishrat can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Ishrat regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh226 views
Ishrat has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ishrat 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Ishrat's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Mitu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Mitu. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
