A ramp for Ratul: volunteers and tools needed
Ratul uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Ratul has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ratul 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 Ratul's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Ratul a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
