Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Lavanya
Help Lavanya regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇮🇳 Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India1,052 views
Lavanya has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Lavanya 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Lavanya's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Peoria donated after I showed her your page. Love from Peoria.
Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
