William can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Tema.

William has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment William 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and William's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

hope things get better soon, Nathaniel. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care
Hope it all works out, Nathaniel. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
