Paresh can't leave home - help build a ramp
Paresh uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Paresh has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Paresh 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Paresh's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless!
Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Keep going, Vaishali. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
