Build a wheelchair ramp for Kajal in Pune
Help Kajal regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India883 views
Kajal has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kajal 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 Kajal's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Gulu so I could bring a meal. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Urvashi. Shared this with my family.
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Columbus.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 29 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Pune.
