Build a wheelchair ramp for Deepa in Pune
Help Deepa regain independence: a simple ramp build.
馃嚠馃嚦 Maharashtra, India1,086 views
Deepa has used a wheelchair since 2021, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Deepa 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Deepa's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
