A non-profit organization, founded on Christian values, composed of vetted & background-screened men & women who volunteer their time and talents to provide those in need with BASIC household repairs & chores. They install safety equipment such as railings, bannisters & ramps, shower bars, and do MINOR electric & plumbing & carpentry repairs. They do NOT remodel homes!

They serve primarily Seniors, Veterans and those with documented disabilities in 8 counties of MI and 9 counties in KY. They will be opening up new offices around the country continually as well!

Please send your work request via the application on the website preferably (https://sjhelpers.org) OR call. Be SURE to give the right phone number and key the agency number in your phone so you will know when the office is calling to arrange a repair! If they cannot reach you, you will be placed in the “inactive” file.

They will be providing steel, temporary ramps to those who are confined to wheelchairs and cannot leave their home safely due to this. All applicants will be vetted by a Social Worker with a medical background and you MAY have to provide a doctor’s prescription if there is a question about the need for a ramp. The ramp will be ordered and delivered to client’s home and installed by SJ Helper volunteers.

You will need to sign a form stating that when the ramp is no longer needed, it will be returned to the program to be passed on to the next client in need. You will need to send pictures of the entrances /exits of the home to Photos@sjhelpers.org with your last name attached to pictures. If your home is not the type that our ramps will fit, we will forward a list of agencies that can build you a ramp although there is usually a waitlist at these agencies.

This agency also has acquired an extremely large Information & Resources website called Julie’s List that is being added to weekly for both MI and KY.  Please go to https://JuliesList.sjhelpers.org.  If you need personal help finding the resources you need, simply call and our I & R specialists will help you personally!

Serves the following counties in these states and continually expanding:

Michigan: Genessee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, Wayne, Washtenaw

Kentucky: Boyle, Clark, Fayette, Garrard, Jessamine, Madison, Mercer, Scott & Woodford
