William's Success Story

William, father of a 17-year-old son, began taking courses at Goodwill two years ago. He worked hard to improve his reading and was able to get his CDL license. Now William skillfully handles a dump truck as he works on highway projects. "Goodwill is beautiful. There couldn't be a better place for people looking for help."
