Kasun has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kasun 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Kasun's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Hope you get there. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Mumbai.

    • Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
