Goodwill
Creating Opportunities. Transforming Lives.
Beverly
Beverly wanted to create a better life for herself and her children after a lifetime of hardships. After connecting with Goodwill and earning her retail certification, she found the way to her dream job of working in the fashion industry, allowing her to support herself and her daughters.
Bobby
After aging out of the foster care system at 18 and spending 35 years living on Skid Row in Los Angeles, Bobby never imagined that one day he would be working for Goodwill. After a chance meeting with a Goodwill ambassador, Bobby received the tools and resources he needed, as well as someone who believed in him, to help him get his first job ever at 50 years old. Now Bobby serves as a Community Liaison in the same community he lived in for so long, giving others the same opportunity he had to create a better life.
Thomas
Thomas was determined to enhance the quality of his work, so he sought assistance from Goodwill of South Florida. With the guidance of an occupational counselor and job coaching techniques, Thomas achieved remarkable progress in meeting the requirements of his job. He now consistently meets his employer's goals. Thanks to Goodwill's support and Thomas' relentless commitment to overcoming obstacles, he is well on his way to "believing in himself and realizing his full potential."
