Henry has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Henry 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Henry's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Hope it all works out, Kelechi. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Detroit

      Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

        So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.

          Hang in there. Wishing Henry a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Davao City this morning.
