A ramp for Eko: volunteers and tools needed
Eko uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Eko has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Eko 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Eko's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

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. Take care
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope July is when things finally get easier. God bless.
hope things get better soon, Hadi. Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
You're not alone, Hadi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Regensburg this morning. Love from Regensburg.
You're not alone, Hadi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 21 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Nairobi.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
