Build a wheelchair ramp for Paresh in Madurai
Paresh uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India923 views
Paresh has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Paresh 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Paresh's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Surabaya so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Madurai.
