Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Varsha
Varsha uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 Mysuru, Karnataka, India785 views
Varsha has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Varsha 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Varsha's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you, Meenakshi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Lagos
sending love, Meenakshi. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mumbai.
Hope things get better soon, Meenakshi. Wishing Varsha a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Üsküdar so I could bring a meal. All the best.
