Zubby has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Zubby 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 six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Zubby'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.

  • Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

    • You're not alone, Adaeze. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Campinas.

      • Wishing Zubby a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Paarl!
