Maryam can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Maryam regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇵🇰 Balochistan, Pakistan1,004 views
Maryam has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Maryam 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Maryam's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Anum. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Gangnam
thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together.
Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City!
