Mahesh can't leave home - help build a ramp

Mahesh uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Mahesh has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Mahesh 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Mahesh's family will cook lunch for the team. Thanks for being kind about this.

      Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Pittsburgh

        Praying for you, Pankaj. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

        • Eli Hamilton

          Wishing you peace, Pankaj. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Makati donated after I showed her your page
