Security Deposit
A 25-year-old Army Veteran needed to downsize from a two-bedroom apartment to a one-bedroom because his roommate moved, and he couldn’t afford to pay the higher rate. We paid the security deposit on his new apartment. Note of thanks from the Veteran: “Qualified Listeners saved the day for me. With the assistance they provided, I am able to move into a smaller, more affordable place. I’ll always remember the assistance they gave me so I can become my best self-sustaining self.”
Parking Tickets
A 57-year-old Gulf War Navy Veteran in Longmont received two parking tickets because his vehicle was inoperable, the registration had expired, and it was parked on a public street. He moved his vehicle into a neighbor’s driveway until he could repair it. If the tickets weren’t paid by a specific date, the city would increase fines. We covered his tickets before the deadline. The Veteran calls our office frequently to thank us and to say hello.
Past Utility Bills
A 54-year-old Army Veteran in Cheyenne fell behind on his utility bill due to his roommate moving out abruptly without making half of the payment. We paid the past-due charges to allowing him to get back on a good path. “The help I got from Qualified Listeners came at a time when I needed it the most. I cannot thank you enough.”
A Vietnam Navy Veteran in Greeley on a limited income has been struggling with increases in his utility bills. After contacting other organizations who were not able to help, he reached out to Qualified Listeners for a one-time assistance request. He has applied for LEAP as well as other low-income resources. We paid the charges to bring him current and he has made future payment arrangements with the utility company. “Your kindness has taken away so much stress. Thank you so much.”
