Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Yash
Yash uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇨🇦 Surrey, British Columbia, Canada718 views
Yash has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Yash 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 Yash's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

so sorry you're going through this, Garima. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope things get better soon, Garima. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Los Angeles

Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
Keep going, Garima. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless!
Hope things get better soon, Garima. Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
