Halima can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Port Harcourt.
🇳🇬 Rivers, Nigeria295 views
Halima has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Halima 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Halima's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Port Harcourt.
