Build a wheelchair ramp for Aravind in Ludhiana

Aravind uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Aravind has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Aravind 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 Aravind's family will cook lunch for the team. Thanks for being kind about this.

  • Keep going. Wishing Aravind a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

    • Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Ludhiana.
