A ramp for Comfort: volunteers and tools needed
Help Comfort regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇬🇭 Madina, Greater Accra, Ghana222 views
Comfort has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Comfort 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Comfort's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Georgina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Olinda!
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Leeds but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this, Georgina. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Anaheim.
Thanks for sharing this, Georgina. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Bangkok.
