An Army veteran who is finally home after being critically wounded in an accidental shooting is getting some much-needed help.

Spc. Josh Keller spent nearly a year in a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in Massachusetts after he was injured in Washington state last year. A fellow soldier accidentally shot him in the neck, hitting his spinal cord.

“I’m a C-4 quadriplegic,” Keller said. “I have loss of function in my legs and arms. From the chest down, I can’t feel.”

Keller must use a wheelchair, but he is now able to live at home thanks to a new addition to the house where he grew up.

“New Hampshire, and especially the town of Hudson, really came together for me,” he said.

Keller received a special adaptive housing grant from the VA to help build a living space for him and his caregiver. He said $80,000 was donated, and community partners stepped in to help make it happen.
