You are the link in a very important chain, a chain that leads from need to opportunity to success.
After 13 years as a nursing assistant and home health aide, Dianne, pictured at left, struggled to pay the bills. Realizing she needed a career with better pay, the single mother contacted Goodwill/Easter Seals Minnesota for information about the Bank Skills Training program. After receiving comprehensive training Dianne graduated and within two months was hired by Highgrove Community Federal Credit Union.
With partners like you, we are able to empower Dianne and the thousands of people who enter our doors each year. Won't you give today?
Now more than ever, we need your financial contribution to provide job preparation and skills training for people in need, such as Dianne.
Dianne is grateful for the training and support she received from Goodwill/Easter Seals.
“My primary instructor was a great mentor who taught me to set measurable goals,” she adds. “My computer instructor was very patient and provided me with one-on-one assistance.”
After successful completion of the Bank Skills Training program, Dianne worked with a Goodwill/Easter Seals' Employment Consultant to shape a plan, practice interviewing and craft a résumé.
You are an intregal part of the link that assists people, like Dianne, to reach their goals.
Dianne attributes her success to her love of interacting with other people and to Goodwill/Easter Seals for helping her achieve her goals.
“As long as you are motivated, Goodwill/Easter Seals will not let you fail," she says.
I invite you to continue your valued partnership or, if you've never given to Goodwill/Easter Seals, become a partner. Make a gift today. Your support ensures that success stories such as Dianne’s are possible. Thank you!
