Emily has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Emily 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Emily's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you so much.

  • wishing you peace, Jose. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Nagpur so I could bring a meal.

    • Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
