Sami can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Heliopolis.

Sami has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sami 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 Sami's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Envigado
Thinking of you, Mahmoud. Hope this works out for you. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Onitsha.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Mombasa.
