A ramp for Vinod: volunteers and tools needed
Vinod uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 New Delhi, Delhi, India837 views
Vinod has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Vinod 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, 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 Vinod's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope it all works out, Krishnan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours.
Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Zagazig.
So sorry you're going through this, Krishnan. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
thinking of you. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted
Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of New Delhi.
