A ramp for Chinedu: volunteers and tools needed
Help Chinedu regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇳🇬 Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,501 views
Chinedu has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Chinedu 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Chinedu's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love, Danjuma. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Alcalá de Henares but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Abuja.
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier. God bless
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Niterói.
praying for you, Danjuma. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together.
So sorry you're going through this, Danjuma. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
hang in there, Danjuma. Hope you get there. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Wishing Chinedu a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless
