Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Francis
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Takoradi.

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

So sorry you're going through this, Georgina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Varanasi donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
