Evelyn: A Story of Persistence

During her teen years, Evelyn went through some hard times that led to a pregnancy, dropping out of school and serving a 3-year prison sentence. Hitting rock bottom, Evelyn knew that she had to make changes in her life. Through the Fresh Start program, Goodwill San Antonio helped her re-enter into society and earn a wage in a retail position. With the encouragement of her store manager, Evelyn applied to the Nurse’s Aide program. Her training and dedication led to a Supervisor position for a community healthcare agency.
