Why we started this

A note from Max

I have worked as a sliding door technician for 7 years. In that time I have met many seniors, people with disabilities, and deaf customers living with a door they can't open, can't close, or can't lock, because a repair was simply out of reach.

One visit stays with me. An elderly woman in a mobile home had struggled with her sliding door for five years. Her son had told her it couldn't be fixed. I replaced the track and the rollers. It took about two hours. When she slid the door open easily, she cried.

A door that works means fresh air, feeling safe at night, and getting outside without help. Everyone deserves that. So we started Sliding Door Heroes Care, and with the help of donors we fix these doors for people who need it most.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. If you qualify, the repair costs you nothing: no charge for parts, labor, or the visit. There is no catch and nothing to sign up for.

Who pays for it?

Kind donors. The program is funded through a GoFundMe campaign run by Max from Sliding Door Heroes. You can donate here.

How long is the wait?

It depends on how many applications we have and how much has been donated. Doors that won't lock, won't close, or have broken glass come first, because they affect your safety. After we review your application, we will contact you and tell you honestly when we can come.

What happens to my documents?

They are stored privately on our secure server. Only our small team can see them, and we use them only to check that you qualify for the program. We never sell or share them, and we never send them by email.

Can someone apply for me?

Yes. A family member, friend, caregiver, or caseworker can fill out the form. Choose "I am applying for someone else" at the top of the form. You can also call us and we will fill it out together.

Prefer to talk to a person?

Call or text us. We will help you apply over the phone.
