Build a wheelchair ramp for Venkatesh in Agra
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Agra.
🇮🇳 Uttar Pradesh, India622 views
Venkatesh has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Venkatesh 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Venkatesh's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Agra.
Rooting for you, Sowmya. Get well soon. Please keep us posted. Love from Dnipro
Wishing you the best, Sowmya. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
