Mahmoud can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Medina.
🇸🇦 Medina, Madinah, Saudi Arabia336 views
Mahmoud has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Mahmoud 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 Mahmoud's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Rohini
