Build a wheelchair ramp for Sapna in Toronto
Help Sapna regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇨🇦 Ontario, Canada1,296 views
Sapna has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sapna 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Sapna's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Stay strong, Ankit. Get well soon. Thinking of Toronto!
Stay strong, Ankit. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Moscow
hope it all works out, Ankit. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hope you get there. Love from Dharan
good luck, Ankit. Wishing Sapna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update.
Sending good thoughts. Wishing Sapna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Tallahassee.
Thanks for sharing this, Ankit. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Gujranwala donated after I showed her your page.
So sorry you're going through this, Ankit. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Toronto.
Sending good thoughts, Ankit. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Pietermaritzburg.
