Build a wheelchair ramp for Anita in Nagpur
Anita uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India95 views
Anita has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Anita 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Anita's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Dinesh. Get well soon.
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page. Take care!
So sorry you're going through this, Dinesh. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Nagpur.
