Imagine serving your country, coming home, and building a quiet life — only to find yourself shivering through a Missouri winter inside your own home.
That’s what happened to Bruce, a veteran renting a small trailer outside Kansas City. When his heat broke, he assumed his landlord would fix it quickly. Instead, nothing was done. As temperatures dropped, Bruce huddled in a single room with a space heater he bought himself. Holes in the drywall let the frigid air in, making the cold even worse.
A concerned neighbor told Bruce about Legal Aid. His attorney got to work right away, negotiating with the landlord to repair the drywall and fix the heating system.
Now, Bruce’s home is warm, safe, and comfortable — just the way it should be.
