Build a wheelchair ramp for Ganesh in Warangal

Help Ganesh regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Warangal
Ganesh has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ganesh 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 Ganesh's family will cook lunch for the team. Glad we found this place.

                  So sorry you're going through this, Pooja. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from San Jose.
