Deepika can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Deepika regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇱🇰 Kandy, Central, Sri Lanka1,691 views
Deepika has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Deepika 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 Deepika's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Aurora!
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Kandy.
Rooting for you, Isuru. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Madina donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Isuru. Shared this with my family. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Central. I'll ask around and let you know
