Nonso can't leave home - help build a ramp
Nonso uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria531 views
Nonso has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Nonso 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 Nonso's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Take care, Kunle. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless
Rooting for you, Kunle. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Suwon.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Badagry.
Keep going, Kunle. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted.
