Build a wheelchair ramp for Okechukwu in Ibadan

Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Ibadan.

Ibadan
Okechukwu has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Okechukwu 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Okechukwu's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you so much.

    Keep going. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together. Love from Lagos.

      So sorry you're going through this, Jumoke. Shared this with my family. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Love from Aswan.

        You're not alone, Jumoke. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 20 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          Sending strength, Jumoke. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update

            Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal.
