Ex homeless veteran decorates for Christmas for first time in 14 years

TL;DR

After suffering many trials and working through his PTSD, he finally has a place to call home for Christmas after moving to Irvine in September.I feel I’m not going to be thrown out of my home, the landlord’s not going to sell it.”He lives with his two Yorkshire terriers and is looking forward to watching a film or two on Christmas Day, with his 23-year-old son coming to see him and “perhaps having a steak”.Veterans First Point, which works with Riverside Scotland, alerted both veterans to the new homes being built in 2021 and asked if they were interested.“As an organisation, we are aware that there are often insufficient housing options for people who have been discharged from the Armed Forces, and a lack of sustainable support to address the needs of these households,” said Heather Anderson, head of service delivery and veterans lead at Riverside Scotland.“We are so delighted to see our veteran customers happy and settled in their new homes and able to start the next chapter of their lives secure in the knowledge they have a permanent home.”"
