Build a wheelchair ramp for Naveen in Pune

Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Pune.

Pune
Naveen has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Naveen 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Naveen's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you for reading my story.

    So sorry you're going through this, Deepak. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Berlin but we're thinking of you. Take care.

        Wishing you peace. Wishing Naveen a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Pune.

        • Simiyu Karanja

          Wishing you the best, Deepak. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
