Christian moved to Connecticut to live with his mother in hopes of finding a job. He quickly felt the repercussions of not finishing high school, as he struggled to find work. With his mother's encouragement he reached out to Goodwill's Educational Services Program for at-risk youth. Goodwill provided remedial education which turned out to be the stepping stone he needed. Today, Christian is a Goodwill retail store employee and working toward his GED.
"Goodwill has helped me so much that I would never let them down. I am grateful for the opportunity that they gave me, and I will repay Goodwill with my hard work."
