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

Jocelyn has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jocelyn 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jocelyn's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Love from Negombo.
Praying for you, Levi. Get well soon.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Kisumu.
