Build a wheelchair ramp for Suresh in Jodhpur
Suresh uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 Rajasthan, India1,049 views
Suresh has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Suresh 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Suresh's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength, Alka. This could happen to any of us. After 23 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
wishing you the best, Alka. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Bogor.
Thinking of you, Alka. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted.
keep going, Alka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Barcelona so I could bring a meal. Love from Tema
Take care, Alka. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Nakhon Ratchasima but we're thinking of you.
Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
