Build a wheelchair ramp for Rotimi in Badagry
Rotimi uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Rotimi has used a wheelchair since 2021, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rotimi 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Rotimi's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Poitiers.
