Padma can't leave home - help build a ramp
Padma uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇳 Kerala, India88 views
Padma has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Padma 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Padma's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this, Harini. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Rooting for you, Harini. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 9 people at work. Take care.
