Build a wheelchair ramp for Jemima in Madina
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Madina.
🇬🇭 Greater Accra, Ghana368 views
Jemima has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jemima 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jemima's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck, Michael. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Stay strong, Michael. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Lahore.
So sorry you're going through this, Michael. Wishing Jemima a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Adama but we're thinking of you.
sending good thoughts, Michael. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
