Build a wheelchair ramp for Shreya in Kanpur

Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Kanpur.

Shreya has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Shreya 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 Shreya's family will cook lunch for the team. I hope life is good to you.

      keep going, Jigna. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
