Kevin can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Kevin regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania1,434 views
Kevin has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kevin 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Kevin's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you. Wishing Kevin a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Lilian. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Jinja.
