Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Ishita
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Lucknow.
🇮🇳 Uttar Pradesh, India1,321 views
Ishita has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ishita 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 Ishita's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Suresh. Shared this with my family
Hang in there, Suresh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Love from Quezon City.
Good luck, Suresh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
You're not alone, Suresh. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Lucknow.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Rio de Janeiro.
This could happen to any of us. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Tiruchirappalli
Sending strength, Suresh. Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Bangkok.
Good luck, Suresh. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Lucknow.
