So after I finished my community service I put in an application hoping to hear something. Once I finally got in I no longer had social anxiety goodwill has helped me find myself and become more comfortable. I always seek helping someone who needs it. I’d like to thank goodwill for giving me this opportunity and making me who I am today

I to have major back issues as 11 years ago I got hurt on the job. At this time it herniated 2 disk’s (1 in my neck *C4-C5″ and lower back *L4-l5*)and I was put out of work. However, I have recently went back to school to earn a degree in the medical field. I am praying that with the background I have in private care settings and wound care settings that after completion of my degree I will be able to find work that is within reason that I may be able to commit to doing. But I just wanted to comment on your story as, I to know how difficult it can be finding a job that you CAN do with the health issues of your back injury and it is extremely difficult to find the “perfect job” when you have back issues. I am glad to hear you was able to receive this through Goodwill Company.

Thanks,
Marsha
