A ramp for Kirit: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Nagpur.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India557 views
Kirit has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kirit 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 Kirit's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending good thoughts, Anushka. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Wishing Kirit a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings
hang in there, Anushka. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
