A ramp for Meena: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Birmingham.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom454 views
Meena has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Meena 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 Meena's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Aarav. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending good thoughts, Aarav. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bristol
