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

Swati has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Swati 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 Swati's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Praying for you, Anand. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
sending love, Anand. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Springfield
