Pavithra can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Kanpur.
🇮🇳 Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India110 views
Pavithra has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Pavithra 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Pavithra's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Aravind. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Kanpur.
Sending strength, Aravind. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Stay strong, Aravind. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 25 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
