Now look into her eyes and tell her she isn't worth helping.

VASSAR, MI (WNEM) - A home in Vassar Township appears war-torn and battered on the outside.

Harper, who is 71-years old and a Vietnam-era veteran, calls this home is nothing less than a travesty.

"I put all of this plastic up so I could live in the house, you know, and funnel the water into one space, instead of having it drip all over the house," Harper said.

Water she collects in jugs she uses to flush her toilet and even bathe with because she has no running water. There's no heat other than the two space heaters. But there is a very pungent smell. To top it all off, the home is infested with black mold.
