Senthil has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Senthil 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 six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Senthil's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Take care, Yogesh. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care

    • Sending strength, Yogesh. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Love from Spanish Town.

      • Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

        • Hope things get better soon, Yogesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.

          • Sending good thoughts, Yogesh. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Lahore.
