Sani can't leave home - help build a ramp
Sani uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria780 views
Sani has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sani 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Sani's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Hope it all works out, Lola. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 21 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
Hang in there, Lola. Shared this with my family
Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Dundee so I could bring a meal.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
