Nida can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Nida regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan121 views
Nida has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Nida 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Nida's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, Shaista. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Hang in there, Shaista. Wishing Nida a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Shaista. This could happen to any of us. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Lahore.
