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

Kemi has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kemi 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Kemi's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Bola. Shared it with a few friends. After 21 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
sending strength, Bola. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Gwagwalada.
Rooting for you, Bola. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Bronx
