Build a wheelchair ramp for Chhaya in Nagpur
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Nagpur.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,094 views
Chhaya has used a wheelchair since 2021, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Chhaya 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 Chhaya's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts, Tarun. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Luxor.
