A ramp for Naresh: volunteers and tools needed
Help Naresh regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇳🇵 Lumbini, Nepal1,467 views
Naresh has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Naresh 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Naresh's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Butwal
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from San Jose.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Pune
Stay strong, Dinesh. Hope you get there.
