Evans can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Kasarani.
🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya955 views
Evans has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Evans 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Evans's family will cook lunch for the team.

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Austin donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Kasarani.

Thinking of you, Margaret. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Mandurah this morning. Love from Mandurah.

This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Kasarani.
