Build a wheelchair ramp for Halima in Kaduna
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Kaduna.
🇳🇬 Kaduna, Kaduna, Nigeria1,114 views
Halima has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Halima 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 Halima's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

thinking of you, Femi. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 4 people at work. Love from Çankaya
Sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hope things get better soon, Femi. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Yekaterinburg so I could bring a meal.
you're not alone, Femi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Bogra
Hope it all works out, Femi. Hope you get there. Love from Feira de Santana
