Build a wheelchair ramp for Krishna in Kolkata
Krishna uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 West Bengal, India997 views
Krishna has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Krishna 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 Krishna's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Karan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Karan. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Halifax.
