Build a wheelchair ramp for Neha in Thane
Neha uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Neha has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Neha 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Neha's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing Neha a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Take care
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Awka so I could bring a meal.
Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Thane.
