A ramp for Neha: volunteers and tools needed
Help Neha regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇮🇳 Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India189 views
Neha has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Neha 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Neha's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Ajay. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
sending love, Ajay. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Tallahassee so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Hang in there, Ajay. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Chennai
