After fighting overseas, many war veterans return home to poor living conditions. Unfortunately, many veterans become homeless or live paycheck to paycheck and can barely support themselves, let alone their families that they return home to.
One man in Russia is taking it into his own hands to help out war veterans and people with disabilities to improve their lives one home renovation at a time.
He's not made out of money himself, but he is motivated to better the lives of war veterans in Russia.
“When I was watching TV, I noticed how poorly some of the people who get medals or gifts from officials live,” Anton said.
He acknowledged that those with disabilities live similarly as war veterans, and wants to eventually include struggling teachers and doctors.
Anton has been touched to receive small donations from across the world, including Canada, the US, and Europe.
"Every little bit helps and inspires me to continue. It makes me realize I’m not alone in my quest," he said.
It's amazing what some fresh paint, new furniture, less clutter, and some rearranging can do to make these people's lives better.
These projects are not cheap, and he's hoping more exposure will catch the eyes of potential sponsors so he can keep the project going.
