Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Farhana
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Mumbai.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India196 views
Farhana has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Farhana 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Farhana's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Tuhin. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings.
Praying for you, Tuhin. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Mumbai.
good luck, Tuhin. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
