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

Daniel has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Daniel 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Daniel's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Sending love, Fiifi. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hang in there, Fiifi. Your post was clear and honest. After 15 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Praying for you, Fiifi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Love from Málaga.
