Our Best is Yet to Come program is intended to provide participants with the resources they need to live happy fulfilled lives. Read below to hear about the many success stories our participants have experienced.
​
This is made possible through the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program.
Say hello to one of our Best is Yet to Come graduates Kay Lombard! Kay took advantage of the referrals and resources available in our SSG Fox SPGP Tucson program and is now employed and feeling very happy and energized.
Enrolled Air Force Veteran, Susan, weighed down by depression, anxiety, and the daily struggle just to keep going, recently visited the NCHP Tucson office on a day when Lexi, the office’s support dog, happened to be there. The Veteran immediately lit up, eager to meet Lexi, and shared a quiet hope of having a dog of her own.
As it turned out, Case Manager Kathi works closely with local rescues and knew of a dog in need of a forever home. When Chloe met the Veteran, the connection was instant — a perfect match. In many ways, Chloe became more than a companion; she became a lifeline.
Since then, those who meet Chloe and her new mom often comment on the remarkable change they see. With Chloe by her side, the Veteran has rediscovered a sense of purpose, comfort, and connection. Sometimes, the simple bond between a Veteran and a fur baby can make all the difference — a reminder that being needed, loved, and seen can truly change a life.
After many years without stable employment, John, a Veteran enrolled through the Yuma office of the Best Is Yet to Come Program, recently received the opportunity he had been hoping for.
​
When AG Tech contacted our program looking to hire a bilingual Veteran, he applied and shared with the hiring manager that he had been referred through our program. After interviewing, he was offered the position and began working full time!
​
With support from community partners, he received work boots through Vets Helping Vets and a watch donated by Cristina’s Closet to help him start his new job prepared and on time.
​
Today, John says he is very happy in his new role. He enjoys the work, takes pride in what he does, and is excited about building a stable future.
