Build a wheelchair ramp for Danjuma in Ibadan
Help Danjuma regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria418 views
Danjuma has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Danjuma 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Danjuma's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you, Ibrahim. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Caloocan but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this, Ibrahim. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Ibadan.
Shared this with my family. Greetings from Belo Horizonte.
