A ramp for Yash: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Mysuru.
🇮🇳 Mysuru, Karnataka, India911 views
Yash has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Yash 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Yash's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Hope you get there. We're a small family in Mérida but we're thinking of you
Sending strength, Karan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Love from Feira de Santana.
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Leeds donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Mysuru.

Sending good thoughts, Karan. Wishing Yash a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
