Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Aarti
Help Aarti regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇮🇳 Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India1,044 views
Aarti has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Aarti 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Aarti's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

hope you get there. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
you're not alone, Aarav. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
