A ramp for Kannan: volunteers and tools needed
Kannan uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Kannan has used a wheelchair since 2021, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kannan 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Kannan's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone, Ashwin. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
