Build a wheelchair ramp for Kemi in Port Harcourt
Kemi uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇳🇬 Rivers, Nigeria694 views
Kemi has used a wheelchair since 2025, 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Kemi's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Grace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Mandaue
Sending love, Grace. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Jakarta
Hope things get better soon, Grace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Jeddah but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Take care, Grace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
