As a single mom struggling to make ends meet, Angela came to Goodwill for help in securing a job in the community.

Before coming to Goodwill Ryan said his life was “a struggle and disorderly.” He had just been released from prison.

Charlie had to start his life completely over. “It was rough coming right out of prison,” he said. “I had nothing.”

Kawan faced a large challenge: re-entering the community after being incarcerated for 20 years. “I had no life,” Kawan said. “Everything had changed."

“My life is on track.” Michael attributes his success to support from Goodwill Industries and his employer, Industrial Metal Cleaning Corporation.

Previously shy and anxious around others, Raymond is now employed and thriving in his new job. Through perseverance and hard work Ray is getting high praise from his employer and coworkers.
