Can you help transform Jordan’s cabin?

Kevan Adams is putting all his efforts into transforming the cabin in Maltby for six-year-old Jordan Reid, who has a brain tumour.

“We are trying to turn it into a clubhouse not just for Jordan but for the wider community,” he explained.

“It would be open for the whole community and if we can get people to help out that would be brilliant.

“It is a two-stage project the first part being the restoration and making good on the container and the second being a more secure home for a new model railway layout to take to exhibitions to raise awareness and funds, not only for Jordan but to keep the unit operational.”

Kevan said there was a huge amount of work to be done on the unit, which is sited on Jordan’s uncle’s land in Maltby.

“We still need to get the electrics and the painting sorted and sort out the roof and some new glazing,” he said.

“We would love to hear from volunteers especially an electrician.

“But we will also need the help of the local builders’ merchants for what we need to get the job completed.

“Jordan’s uncle Daniel lives in Maltby and offered us the use of the land to put the caravan.

“It is not just for Jordan we want to be part of the community as well.

“We want to be there for the younger ones but also for the veterans who might want somewhere to go and make use of their skills.”

Jordan, who lives in Sheffield, regularly spends up to a fortnight in hospital for medical treatment and is on regular medication.

His grandad explained: “He had an operation in 2016 which removed 95 per cent of the tumour and the rest is wrapped round his brain stem so they can’t get to it.

“It is terminal but it is difficult to know how long he has.

“It is one of the rarest cancers in the UK with only one or two cases a year.

“We don’t know what’s going to happen but every day with Jordan is a blessing and we try to make it as special as we can.

“We feel Jordan deserves what every child has and that is the chance to be normal.

“He is such a happy little chap he can put a smile on everyone’s face.

“Everyone just falls in love with him.”

In the long run, Kevan and his partner Deborah, who founded a charitable trust in Jordan’s name, hope to establish a successful charity to support Jordan and children with a similar condition.

“We want to ensure Jordan and children like him are getting the support they need,” Kevan said.
