A ramp for Kunal: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Varanasi.
🇮🇳 Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India472 views
Kunal has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kunal 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Kunal's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Heliopolis donated after I showed her your page.
Hope it all works out, Krishna. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Varanasi.
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Dar es Salaam this morning
