A ramp for Apurva: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Surat.
🇮🇳 Gujarat, India955 views
Apurva has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Apurva 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Apurva's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

wishing you the best, Pooja. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Duisburg but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this, Pooja. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Surat.
