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

Ignacio has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ignacio 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Ignacio's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted.
Best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Machakos this morning. All the best
