When Walter was faced with financial problems the sweet people of Grand Junction lent him their services free of charge to help him get back on his feet again and head home. (Credit: Walter Goddard)

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.
