I had a problem with my checking account when I visited Colorado in 2015. I needed help to get home and the Grand Valley Catholic Outreach program stood up to the plate and gave me a tank of gas with a sack lunch!

Walmart allowed me to spend a few days in my vehicle in the parking lot before they told me to leave. A barista at the Starbucks gave me a hug and free cup of mocha to brighten my day! A lady with her boyfriend and other friends invited me to their table when they saw me sitting alone at the country dance club.
