Yinka can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Lagos.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria294 views
Yinka has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Yinka 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 Yinka's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Bola. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
You're not alone, Bola. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Wollongong but we're thinking of you.
