A ramp for Jordan: volunteers and tools needed
Jordan uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Jordan has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jordan 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Jordan's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family, Carter. Wishing Jordan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 36 people at work. Take care!
thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from El Paso.
Thanks for sharing this, Carter. Hope the doctors have good news.
