Veteran Who Lost House to Fire Surprised with Place to Call Home
27 Jan 2021
U.S. Army veteran Teresa Birge lost her Oklahoma home of 40 years and everything she owned inside ten days before Christmas due to a fire.
“It was just like everything you ever had was gone in just a few hours,” Birge told KJRH.
As an Army veteran, Birge never felt hopeless until the fire consumed her home.
“I was about to give up on everything, a month ago, I didn’t know what I was gonna [do],” she said.
But things changed for the better when fellow veteran Robert Lint, who was working on a project for homeless veterans, heard of her plight.
