Zubby can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Zubby regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇳🇬 Zaria, Kaduna, Nigeria723 views
Zubby has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Zubby 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Zubby's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you, Yinka. Wishing Zubby a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Fort Collins.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Nice but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Zaria
