A ramp for Macharia: volunteers and tools needed

Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Entebbe.

Entebbe
Macharia has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Macharia 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 Macharia's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you for reading my story.

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Rotterdam but we're thinking of you.
