Build a wheelchair ramp for Nasrin in Mumbai
Nasrin uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India314 views
Nasrin has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Nasrin 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Nasrin's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Hope you get there. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Gazipur this morning.
Thinking of you. Wishing Nasrin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Móstoles.
