Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Pankaj
Help Pankaj regain independence: a simple ramp build.
馃嚠馃嚦 Tamil Nadu, IndiaPosted Sep 23, 2026443 views
Pankaj has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Pankaj 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 Pankaj's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Akron so I could bring a meal. All the best.
You're not alone, Ritu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Ritu. Wishing Pankaj a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
