Rose can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Rose regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Tanzania898 views
Rose has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rose 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Rose's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
wishing you peace, Naliaka. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 7 people at work. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Zaporizhzhia
Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
