Build a wheelchair ramp for Hasitha in Negombo
Help Hasitha regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇱🇰 Western, Sri Lanka1,167 views
Hasitha has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Hasitha 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Hasitha's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Deepika. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Bogor.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Thane.
