Kalyani can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Kolkata.
🇮🇳 Kolkata, West Bengal, India617 views
Kalyani has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kalyani 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Kalyani's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
Take care. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Dundee
Stay strong, Girish. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Nairobi
