A ramp for Kingsley: volunteers and tools needed

Kingsley uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Kingsley has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kingsley 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 Kingsley's family will cook lunch for the team. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    wishing you the best, Yewande. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Johannesburg so I could bring a meal

      Keep going, Yewande. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 14 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings

        Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Lowell so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Luxor
