Meet Glenn👋
Glenn is a Goodwill San Antonio donation attendant with big dreams and an inspiring journey. After serving 16 years in prison, he was determined to turn his life around. He began searching for a second-chance employer and that’s when he found Goodwill.
From an early age, William was immersed in toxic environments. With parents who were in active addiction, William grew up believing that it was okay to live with addiction as long as “the bills were being paid.” This mentality would later cost him.
Meet Noraima! 👋
After facing one financial setback after another, she began to lose sight of her dreams. However, life took a turn for the better when a former student of the Goodwill Academy shared her journey, which reignited a spark within her.
Meet Samuel!👋🎓
As a military child, Samuel experienced hardships like moving often and having to learn a different language while he and his family lived in Korea. However, he attributes these life lessons with preparing him for hurdles that would soon come his way. Because he had seen both parents become dependent on medication due to chronic illnesses, he saw the importance that medicine can have on the body. This led to his interest in pharmacology and why he “wanted to understand how medicine helps the body and promote healing — both for my parents and for others facing similar challenges.”
