Payal can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Payal regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇮🇳 Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India1,471 views
Payal has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Payal 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Payal's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Johannesburg.
Hope it all works out, Sita. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Love from Kitakyushu.
Praying for you, Sita. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
