A ramp for Amit: volunteers and tools needed

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

Amit has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Amit 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 six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Amit's family will cook lunch for the team. Thanks for being kind about this.

    You're not alone, Deepak. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Ogbomosho.

      Rooting for you, Deepak. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Rome.

                hope things get better soon, Deepak. I hope things turn around soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Mumbai.
