Do you want to get help building it, or have it done for you?
My hubs and I were building our own, and had to hire the neighborhood handyman to finish it up.

The Area Agency on Aging (through our senior center) has a handiworker program. It is free.

You might try your local governmental aging office. They usually know of any available community resources.

Try the Department of disabilities. A friend was able to get a ramp thru them.

How high does the ramp have to go?
In my area, the code says for every 1 inch of height (the porch or doorway), one needs the ramp to be one foot long.
A 27 inch high porch would need to be 27 feet long.

But don't take my word for it. Directions and measurements are online, and at
Home Depot.

Our ramp used 3 eight foot plywood boards to cover it, so it was 24 ft. long.

Yikes, hope I have got that right.

The Handiworker Program put the stairs back, I no longer need a wheelchair.

You might also ask your local church, Catholic Charities, or a Christmas in October (or similar "handyman" organization).
