Build a wheelchair ramp for Dola in Surat
Dola uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Dola has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Dola 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Dola's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 15 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
