Okechukwu can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Lagos.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria376 views
Okechukwu has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Okechukwu 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 Okechukwu's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Salem
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Lagos.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Newport this morning. Greetings from Newport.
