Dear ,
|
|
A few months ago you received a letter from me telling the success
|
|
stories of people who got jobs with Goodwill's help.
|
|
Here's another story of success from what might seem like an unlikely
|
|
source: Goodwill's controller, Juli. She tells me that the 3,666 people
|
|
we helped find jobs in 1998 earned approximately $49 million dollars. In
|
|
addition to that, by helping them find jobs, Goodwill reduced the state's
|
|
Public Support tab by an estimated $4 million. Your gift to Goodwill will
|
|
help us do even more this year because your gift will be used to directly
|
|
support our work.
|
|
What kind of work does Goodwill do?
|
|
Goodwill finds jobs for people with mental and physical disabilities.
|
|
After Maureen's job coach taught her how to do her job in a restaurant,
|
|
we helped Maureen step out of the shadow sometimes cast over people with
|
|
physical and mental disabilities and find a fulfilling job smack dab in
|
|
the middle of society. Remember what she said in my last letter? "If I
|
|
wasn't working here...I would be sad..."
|
|
Goodwill helps people get off of public assistance. Sherry learned
|
|
through our Future Works class that she could rise out of the mire of the
|
|
welfare system and support her family. At Goodwill she gained in
|
|
self-confidence, in her vision of her future and in the job skills she
|
|
needed to find and keep a good job. "Coming to Goodwill was the first
|
|
step toward my becoming totally independent. I am now... totally off of
|
|
welfare."
|
|
Goodwill prepares people for life-long employment. Cornell found a
|
|
number of employment options that he never dreamed existed after a
|
|
work-site injury forced him out of his job at a foundry. He trained in
|
|
desktop publishing and combined his enthusiastic work ethic with
|
|
new-found skills in a burgeoning industry. "I've got more than a job;
|
|
I've got a career."
|
|
Goodwill provides jobs at Goodwill. After a lifetime of trials, Donna
|
|
not only earned her GED at Goodwill, she earned a job here. "I rode a
|
|
bike to Goodwill in the rain and snow. I wanted to be there...I had my
|
|
second chance to change my life."
|
|
Your gift to Goodwill will help the many people who want to tell their
|
|
own stories of success. Your support will help them go to work.
|
|
Please use the enclosed envelope to give a generous gift to Goodwill
|
|
today!
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
William A Carter, Chairman Goodwill Industries Foundation
|
|
P.S. Your gift is a wise investment in the community. For every dollar
|
|
donated to Goodwill in 1998, we helped our "graduates" earn an estimated
|
|
$102. That money was then spent in a variety of ways, adding fuel to our
|
|
thriving economy.
