Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Grace
Help Grace regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇰🇪 Kakamega, Kakamega, Kenya235 views
Grace has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Grace 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 Grace's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there, Kato. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Pittsburgh this morning. Take care.
Good luck, Kato. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning.
shared it with a few friends. Love from Bakersfield.
