ARVADA, Colo. — Inside Go Navy Envios Shipping, the stacks of boxes and pallets aren’t destined for customers — they’re bound for survivors of the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela.

Sanchez said his aunt recently told him she lost everything in the disaster.

BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. — For years, Boulder resident Mary Grace didn't realize how much danger she was in. “It was many, many years of deception — hidden surveillance, gaslighting — isolating me, especially from family,” Grace said. “Luckily, law enforcement could see things I could not see, and that’s when they got me connected with the program.” That program was the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Victim Assistance Program, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this June.
