Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Smit
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Vadodara.

Smit has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Smit 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 Smit's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

keep going. Hope you get there. After 19 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
thinking of you and your family. Wishing Smit a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
