Build a wheelchair ramp for Jonathan in Tamale
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Tamale.

Jonathan has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jonathan 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Jonathan's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family, Sandra. Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
shared this with my family. Thinking of Tamale.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Jodhpur.
