A ramp for Atul: volunteers and tools needed
Help Atul regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,095 views
Atul has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Atul 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Atul's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
