Build a wheelchair ramp for Paul in Abuja
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Abuja.
🇳🇬 Abuja, Abuja FCT, Nigeria357 views
Paul has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Paul 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Paul's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning. God bless.
Sending strength, Ifeanyi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care.
keep going, Ifeanyi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Munich.
