Build a wheelchair ramp for Popy in Chennai
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Chennai.
🇮🇳 Tamil Nadu, India438 views
Popy has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Popy 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 Popy's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Makati but we're thinking of you.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Love from Mohammedia.
