Siddharth can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Surat.
🇮🇳 Surat, Gujarat, India232 views
Siddharth has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Siddharth 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 Siddharth's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there, Umesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Umesh. Wishing Siddharth a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
wishing Siddharth a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Umesh. Your post was clear and honest.
Rooting for you, Umesh. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. After 22 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
So sorry you're going through this, Umesh. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
