Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Nabirye

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

Entebbe
Nabirye has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Nabirye 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 Nabirye's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Hope it all works out. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Jalandhar so I could bring a meal. All the best

      Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 28 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Entebbe
