A ramp for Tarun: volunteers and tools needed

Tarun uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Tarun has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Tarun 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 six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Tarun's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you so much.

      praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

      • Deborah B. Lynch

        hang in there, Neelam. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

            Praying for you, Neelam. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Vigo.

                      thinking of you and your family, Neelam. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Flint this morning.

                        Best of luck, Neelam. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
