New Orleans Saints players helped build a ramp outside the St. Roch home of a disabled man on Wednesday.

Jerry Hills said he lost his left leg three years ago due to a bacterial infection, and with no ramp outside, he had to hop down the steps or crawl up them. A few months ago, he called Nikki Williams at Rebuilding Together New Orleans, and on Wednesday, Saints players and employees from Dudley DeBosier Injury Lawyers volunteered to renovate the house.

“Having this ramp is a great feeling,” Hills said. “To see so many people that care about you, it’s great. It’s really great.”

As about 30 people worked on the ramp and other renovations, Hills’ wife Doreen said she still couldn’t believe it was happening.

Saints players Michael Thomas, Cameron Jordan, Marcus Davenport, David Onyemata, Zach Line, Taylor Stallworth, Keith Kirkwood, Darnell Sankey and Zach Wood all helped work on the project, which was in conjunction with DeBosier’s annual #DoRight4LA Day.

Jordan, who frequently participates in charity events, said this was another opportunity for the Saints to show how much they care about the community.

“Just putting something up there like that for him will be really amazing, just to make things easier for him,” Onyemata said.
