Tejaswini can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Tejaswini regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇮🇳 Jaipur, Rajasthan, India1,620 views
Tejaswini has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Tejaswini 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Tejaswini's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Tucson.
Praying for you, Ganesh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending strength, Ganesh. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Ganesh. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Vancouver but we're thinking of you. Blessings
You're not alone, Ganesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update!
Thanks for sharing this, Ganesh. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Athens so I could bring a meal. Love from Johannesburg.
sending strength, Ganesh. Get well soon. Thinking of Jaipur.
Wishing you peace, Ganesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
You're not alone, Ganesh. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Bahir Dar.
Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Sheffield!
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Bogotá this morning
good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Jaipur
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
