LARKSPUR, Colo. (KRDO) -- A retired Fort Carson veteran received the keys to their brand new home in Larkspur Wednesday.

Retired Sgt. William "Jaye" VanBoening was a Motor Transportation Operator stationed at Fort Carson, 360th Transportation Company, during his 15-month deployment to Iraq. He also served two tours in Afghanistan before being honorably discharged in 2014.

VanBoening also has an art-based nonprofit that holds workshops, raises awareness and funds to donate to organizations like Military Warriors Support Foundation.

The donation was made possible through a partnership with Wells Fargo and the Military Warriors Support Foundation.

Since 2012, Wells Fargo has donated more than 400 homes for veterans and Gold Star families across all 50 states.
