Dancer shared with Fox 10:
I had so much stress in my life because I just didn't know what to do. Sometimes, I hated for the mail to arrive because it was just bills.
His home and yard were refurbished by Rebuilding Together, a nonprofit organization that involves community and volunteers to help low-income seniors, disabled, and veterans renovate their homes.
Jeremiah Churchill, the organization's director of construction operations, stated that a group of volunteers painted Dancer's home and weeded his yard.
He said:
He wants a light yellow and cobalt blue, so it's definitely going to make it a little more lively.
The Korean War veteran admitted he couldn't afford to use his air conditioner.
If I could double my income, I would still be below the poverty level.
