Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Vasanthi
Vasanthi uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India1,722 views
Vasanthi has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Vasanthi 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Vasanthi's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going. Shared it with a few friends!
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Blessings.

Hope things get better soon, Aishwarya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Noida.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from São Paulo.
hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Tamale.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best!
