Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Arun
Help Arun regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India574 views
Arun has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Arun 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Arun's family will cook lunch for the team.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Dasmariñas
sending love, Ganesh. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Mumbai.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together. God bless!
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Keep going, Ganesh. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Mumbai.
Wishing you peace, Ganesh. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Seattle.
hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Get well soon. Please keep us posted. Take care
Hang in there, Ganesh. I hope things turn around soon.
sending strength. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
