Mubashir can't leave home - help build a ramp

Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Lahore.

Mubashir has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Mubashir 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Mubashir's family will cook lunch for the team. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

                Sending good thoughts, Rizwan. Wishing Mubashir a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best!

                    Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

                          Thanks for sharing this, Rizwan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
