Idowu can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Benin City.
🇳🇬 Edo, Nigeria542 views
Idowu has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Idowu 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Idowu's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Thanks for sharing this, Chidi. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Benin City
Stay strong, Chidi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Benin City.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Buenos Aires
Best of luck, Chidi. Hope you get there. Love from Tema.
