Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Raghavan
Raghavan uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Raghavan has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Raghavan 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 Raghavan's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Your post was clear and honest. After 17 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything
hope things get better soon, Praveen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in New Delhi but we're thinking of you.
