WAUKESHA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A local veteran got a nice surprise Wednesday, March 24, when a group of people showed up at his door in Waukesha carrying a giant check.

"We've been watching every penny and now all of a sudden we don't have to for -- for a month," said Navy veteran Matthew Sedlmeier. 

Matthew and his family are getting their mortgage paid for them for one month.

It's a gift from Envoy Mortgage. The company is doing it to show gratitude for its customers during a financially tough time.

Matthew is an electrician and he says work has been slow.

His wife, Heather, has a new job and they're both caring for a new baby.

Now, at least for a month, the family gets to relax a bit.
