Evans has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Evans 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 ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Evans's family will cook lunch for the team. Thanks for being kind about this.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Halima. I hope things turn around soon!

    • Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

      • Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Nsukka so I could bring a meal.
