Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Lamia
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Agra.
🇮🇳 Uttar Pradesh, India881 views
Lamia has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Lamia 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 Lamia's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Shefali. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Love from București
Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
sending good thoughts, Shefali. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Rooting for you, Shefali. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Vancouver so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
keep going, Shefali. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Coyoacán but we're thinking of you. All the best.
sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. After 19 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Agra.
Keep going, Shefali. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
