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

Idris has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Idris 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Idris's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good luck. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Dar es Salaam so I could bring a meal.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Jimma so I could bring a meal. All the best.
