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

Jide has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jide 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jide's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck, Zainab. Shared it with a few friends.
Hope it all works out, Zainab. Hope the doctors have good news.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Hannover.
