Jay can't leave home - help build a ramp
Jay uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,000 views
Jay has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jay 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jay's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted!
Sending love, Aarti. It takes guts to ask. Well done
You're not alone, Aarti. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best!
hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Best of luck, Aarti. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Siliguri
It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Mumbai.
gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Seville.
Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Nashik.
wishing Jay a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Turin.
