Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Rashmi
Help Rashmi regain independence: a simple ramp build.
๐บ๐ธ Reading, Pennsylvania, United States267 views
Rashmi has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rashmi 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Rashmi's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.
