Build a wheelchair ramp for Adjoa in Tarkwa
Adjoa uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Adjoa has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Adjoa 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 Adjoa's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
