A ramp for Rohit: volunteers and tools needed
Rohit uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India524 views
Rohit has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rohit 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Rohit's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this, Deepa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 9 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Medina.
thanks for sharing this. Get well soon.
Sending strength, Deepa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
