Build a wheelchair ramp for Vaibhav in Siliguri
Vaibhav uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 West Bengal, India304 views
Vaibhav has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Vaibhav 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 Vaibhav's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Nirali. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
Sending strength, Nirali. Wishing Vaibhav a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
Good luck, Nirali. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Love from Guadalupe.
Sending good thoughts, Nirali. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Toronto.
