When I came to Goodwill I thought I couldn’t be anything and I thought that was the end of my life. They helped me with so many things and I’ve been doing well. Thanks to Goodwill my life has fallen into a place I thought it wouldn’t go.

Goodwill taught me to be humble, stay focused, help others and be a team player. If a person is down, you help them up and encourage them.

Goodwill is a great support system. They allow you to lean on them and they provide you with resources. At the end of the day it is all up to you if you choose to move forward.

I’ve been to a lot of different programs that led to a dead end. But I went to Goodwill and it was a totally different experience. The people really care about you and are sincere, they do what they say they are going to do.
