Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Tania
Tania uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 New Delhi, Delhi, India847 views
Tania has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Tania 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Tania's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 15 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Sending love, Maliha. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Novosibirsk.
you're not alone, Maliha. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Nashik this morning. Thinking of New Delhi.
