Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Uchenna
Help Uchenna regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria828 views
Uchenna has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Uchenna 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 Uchenna's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Ibrahim. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Hialeah.

This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Gwagwalada but we're thinking of you.

Hang in there, Ibrahim. 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!
