I have the pleasure of being part of an organization that believes in being a responsible member of our national community. ERA has for the past 30 years been a major contributor to MDA. This year ERA donated $2,000,000 dollars to Jerry’s kids, and plans on beating that number next year.
The Real Estate agency that I’m affiliated with, located in Southern Maine, is ERA Today Realty. ERA Today Realty has always been a large supporter of this effort, and has raised tens of thousands of dollars annually for this very important initiative. This year, ERA Today Realty is taking the concepts of giving to the next level, by introducing an ERA Today Realty community outreach program, which I’m happy to say I’m participating in.
This year our efforts and giving turn to 14 year old Jesse Jordan, of Standish, Maine. Jesse has Muscular Dystrophy, and is bound to his wheel chair, which you never hear him complain about. Jesse’s only wish is to have more room in his small bedroom. It currently is only large enough for a bed, dresser and room for his wheel chair, add in his service dog and nobody moves. Our goal is to create a space that will give Jesse plenty of room for his hobby of model building, as well as room to have his friends come over and play video games with him.
His mother and stepfather have have renovated part of their existing home to accommodate some of Jesse’s unique needs, but just haven’t been able to manage an addition onto the house for his bedroom to be made larger with direct access outside. When we heard of Jessie’s space needs, we turned to Home Construction Inc., of Yarmouth, Maine www.MaineHomeConstruction.com to see if they could assist us with this endeavor. Not, only have they agreed to participate, but have engaged their subs to donate their time, various other suppliers to donate materials, and we are well on our way to creating a great space for Jesse.
We still have many needs, and need your help. If you are interested in donating money or supplies, please contact me by email.
