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

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

You're not alone, Chantelle. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
Wishing you peace, Chantelle. Wishing Patrice a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Abuja donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Praying for you, Chantelle. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
