URGENT: A Safe Home for Jordan

Imagine being told you have 30 days to either move yourself and your disabled child into your tiny living room—or leave your home entirely.

That’s the devastating choice facing Terri Butler, a mother of three in Baltimore, and her 11-year-old daughter, Jordan, who was born with Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV).

CMV is a common virus that can cause serious birth defects. Because of it, Jordan lives with:

She’s medically fragile, bed-bound, and wheelchair-dependent—and her full-time caregiver is her mom, Terri.

But now, because their basement sleeping setup (the only space that could fit Jordan’s medical needs) lacks an emergency exit and sunlight, Baltimore City has given Terri less than 30 days to move or face major fines.

The only assistance offered? A 2-bedroom apartment—not nearly enough space for Jordan, her specialized equipment, and her two teenage siblings.

What This Family Needs:

Terri has already lost jobs due to hospital stays with Jordan. She also now has wrist and neck injuries from trying to lift Jordan (who now weighs over 80 lbs) without the equipment or support she needs.

How You Can Help:

Every single dollar makes a difference.

Whether you give $5, $50, or $500—your support helps move this family from crisis to safety.

If you can’t give today, please share this page with your friends, family, coworkers, and faith communities. Let’s make sure Jordan is no longer isolated in a basement—but lifted into the light.

With deep gratitude,

Terri, Jordan, and family
