Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Mohan
Mohan uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India642 views
Mohan has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Mohan 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, 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 Mohan's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you. Wishing Mohan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Wudil.
Sending love, Padma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
