A ramp for Juma: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Kasarani.
🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya410 views
Juma has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Juma 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 Juma's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Kasarani.
wishing Juma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
Good luck. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Tarragona.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Corpus Christi this morning. Take care.
Sending love, Muthoni. 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. Thinking of Kasarani.
thinking of you and your family, Muthoni. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
Stay strong, Muthoni. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Hialeah but we're thinking of you

Thanks for sharing this, Muthoni. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Kasarani.
Thinking of you, Muthoni. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Hang in there. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Chattogram.
