A ramp for Chiamaka: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Lagos.

Chiamaka has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Chiamaka 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 Chiamaka's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Ifeanyi. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Wishing Chiamaka a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Lagos.
