Festus can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Wudil.
🇳🇬 Kano, Nigeria959 views
Festus has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Festus 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Festus's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family, Chioma. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Manila so I could bring a meal. All the best
Take care, Chioma. Shared this with my family.
good luck, Chioma. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update.
