Karthik has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Karthik 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Karthik's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope it all works out, Divya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Mysuru.
stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Geelong.
Wishing Karthik a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
