Oluwaseun can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Oluwaseun regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇳🇬 Warri, Delta, Nigeria349 views
Oluwaseun has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Oluwaseun 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 Oluwaseun's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 18 people at work. Greetings from Mumbai
good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Richards Bay.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Udaipur.
Hope things get better soon, Femi. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
Hang in there, Femi. Shared it with a few friends!
Rooting for you, Femi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together.
Take care, Femi. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
I hope things turn around soon. After 9 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Femi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
Good luck, Femi. Wishing Oluwaseun a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Oluwaseun a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending good thoughts, Femi. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
