Emotional Story: A Determined Man Who Jumped for Joy

🎉 Join us in celebrating Ron, a man who knows he's destined for more!

Ron walked away from school as a teenager to work on an oil rig. For over 20 years, he worked long, hard days, but deep down, he knew something had to change. One day, he heard a radio ad about Goodwill Acadiana’s HiSET program, and he took the leap.

In just three weeks, Ron passed all five tests! When he got his final score, he ran through our doors jumping for joy with shining eyes and an unstoppable smile 💙

He felt like this had been hanging over his head for so long, and now he's finally free to chase life's opportunities!

Ron, your strength lights up every room, and your story is a reminder that it’s never too late. We’re honored to be part of your journey, and we can’t wait to see where you go next.

To our community: YOU made this possible. Your donations are so much more than items. They are second chances, and Ron is proof 🫶
