Manisha can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Kathmandu.
🇳🇵 Kathmandu, Bagmati, Nepal1,066 views
Manisha has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Manisha 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 Manisha's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Wiesbaden but we're thinking of you. Love from Wiesbaden.
Get well soon. My neighbor in Cluj-Napoca donated after I showed her your page.
