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

Seydou has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Seydou 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 Seydou's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, Bintou. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together!
good luck, Bintou. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Pune.
