Shyam can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Butwal.
🇳🇵 Lumbini, Nepal1,237 views
Shyam has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Shyam 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, 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 Shyam's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Pramila. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Bristol this morning. Love from Bristol.
Thinking of you and your family, Pramila. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.

stay strong, Pramila. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
