Umesh can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Pune.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India66 views
Umesh has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Umesh 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 Umesh's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing Umesh a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Pune.
Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
sending love, Bhavna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Pune
