A ramp for Uma: volunteers and tools needed
Uma uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India855 views
Uma has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Uma 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Uma's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Ubud.
Praying for you, Anjana. Wishing Uma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Badagry this morning.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Eindhoven
Thanks for sharing this, Anjana. Get well soon. After 11 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
