Nashik
Swati has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Swati 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 ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Swati's family will cook lunch for the team. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

        Rooting for you, Kavita. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.

        • Grayson Green

          wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

            Take care. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Pittsburgh donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Pittsburgh.

                So sorry you're going through this, Kavita. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.

                          Good luck, Kavita. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Dayton so I could bring a meal
