62-year-old Air Force Veteran required some much-needed repair work on his 1993 Buick Park Avenue. Unfortunately, emergency dental work depleted his savings which were set aside for the repair work. With that and needing his car for transportation to and from work, he reached out to us for assistance.
Qualified Listeners, along with our amazing Funding Team, paid for the repair. Following is a note from our very humble Veteran expressing his gratitude and appreciation:

Shirley,
Hello again, I just got the call from Ft. Collins Muffler. They said the car runs smoother and has 50 horsepower more. It still has the noise from the bad bearings in the supercharger, but it would be absurd to do that repair. A new, used car is cheaper. Anyway, they will install the fuel filter tomorrow.
By the way, I did say another prayer for all parties involved, including you and Jodi. Thank you for the immense effort and support from all of you.
God Bless!
J.T. Fort Collins

An adult daughter of a Vietnam-era Navy Veteran needed to replace a recently purchased preowned power chair. Unfortunately, the device failed soon after purchase. Because it was used and with no warranty, she couldn't get a refund or replacement. Nor was it covered by her insurance.
A powered mobility device versus a manual wheelchair is necessary for her physical challenges. We were able to deliver a like-new power chair to her with more features than her previous one. Below is an email sent to one of our Family Care Coordinators who made this happen:

Hi Shirley,
How are you? I cannot even begin to tell you how grateful I am to have new wheels! I feel so free! Thank you so much for your kindness and your patience as you helped me navigate this process and find a wheelchair. I appreciate it so very much!
I would like to make a donation to Qualified Listeners. Would you be able to tell me the mailing address and whom I should make the check out to? I am on disability and am embarrassed about how small the donation will be. But, I am so thankful that I want to give something, even if it's not very much.
I could never describe how great it feels to be able to go places and not worry about breaking down. You and the folks at Qualified Listeners have truly blessed me! Thank you!
Be well,
K.S. Longmont
