Jordan Hutchison is an inspirational teenager. He has cerebral palsy and epilepsy, but this has not stopped him defying expectations and raising huge sums of money for charity. He currently lives with his parents, Jackie and Colin, and his siblings at his grandmother鈥檚 house. He sleeps on an air bed, while the parents share rooms with the younger children. The family home is a shell after a series of building issues meant the family ran out of money with no way of finishing the work.

Dad Colin is Jordan鈥檚 primary carer and has saved his life a number of times when Jordan suffered epileptic seizures in his sleep. Mum Jacqueline isn鈥檛 physically strong enough to help Jordan and so works in a children鈥檚 home, saving every penny to spend on finishing their home. Their current living situation and the financial stress of the unfinished build is taking its toll on the whole family, and Jacqueline recently collapsed.

Jordan is a growing lad with a very strong mind, and he just wants his independence, like any other young man his age, but he doesn鈥檛 have the space or facilities in which to develop. The house needs extensive work before the family can move in. Hundreds of tradespeople and volunteers from Corby and across the UK have come to help the DIY SOS team and designer Gabrielle Omar create a house that will finally be a home.
