Build a wheelchair ramp for Rajeshwari in Mangaluru

Rajeshwari uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Rajeshwari has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rajeshwari 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 Rajeshwari's family will cook lunch for the team. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

                    Hope this works out for you. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Kinondoni.

                      Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 23 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                          It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
