Gloria can't leave home - help build a ramp
Gloria uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇬🇭 Takoradi, Western, Ghana276 views
Gloria has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Gloria 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 Gloria's family will cook lunch for the team.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
