Wanjiru can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Nakuru.
🇰🇪 Nakuru, Nakuru, Kenya410 views
Wanjiru has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Wanjiru 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Wanjiru's family will cook lunch for the team.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Nakuru
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 22 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
wishing you the best, Waweru. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Nakuru
thinking of you and your family, Waweru. I hope things turn around soon.
