Rental Nightmare
A 55-year-old Navy Veteran in Cheyenne was in payment arrears of almost $1,500 and on the verge of getting his utilities shut off as a result of no income because of three months of hospitalization from a rare post-surgical staff infection. We paid the past due amount, reconnect fee, and deposit amount. This is what the Veteran had to say: “I’ve never felt so close to death before. The doctors saved my life and Qualified Listeners saved my sanity. I’ll never be able to thank you enough.”

Propane Payment
We were contacted by the daughter of a 90-year-old Navy Veteran in rural Weld County, Colorado asking for help in paying for two deliveries of propane fuel spanning the last six months to her father’s home. The Veteran lives alone in a mobile home several miles from the nearest town. Because he has been a long-time customer of the propane company and hearing that Qualified Listeners will pay the bill in full, the company was agreeable to waiving the late fees. We received a tearful thank you from the daughter as well as a separate thank you from the propane company.

A Thank You Note for Being Nice?
One of our Family Care Coordinators received the following in a card after a phone conversation from a Fort Collins Veteran who called to just ask questions. “Thank you! You really helped an old vet! You are angels. I hope I don’t need you after this … but knowing you’re there brings me hope.” (September 2023)
“Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.”
- Helen Keller
