A ramp for Oluwaseun: volunteers and tools needed
Oluwaseun uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇳🇬 Anambra, Nigeria694 views
Oluwaseun has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Oluwaseun 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Oluwaseun's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Blessings.
You're not alone, Obiageli. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Berlin this morning. All the best.
