Mohammad can't leave home - help build a ramp
Mohammad uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,215 views
Mohammad has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Mohammad 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 Mohammad's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Sending love, Tania. Wishing Mohammad a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Puebla donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Dhaka!
thanks for sharing this, Tania. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Sacramento
