A ramp for Swapna: volunteers and tools needed
Swapna uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 Hubballi, Karnataka, India981 views
Swapna has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Swapna 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Swapna's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, Hetal. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Arlington.
so sorry you're going through this, Hetal. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Mekelle this morning. Blessings
