Rakib can't leave home - help build a ramp
Rakib uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Rakib has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rakib 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Rakib's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Nashville.
Thinking of you, Habib. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Sending strength, Habib. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together
