🎉 Join us in celebrating Markel - the fastest ever to complete his HiSET at Goodwill Acadiana!
Markel's life hasn't been easy. Growing up, he often felt unsupported as the only son among four children, even living with his grandmother for a time. By 16, his family moved to Texas, where he faced another challenge: starting ninth grade over while living in a homeless shelter.
Through it all, Markel's strength and positivity never wavered. After enrolling in our HISET program, he went from taking his practice test to passing all five exams in only TWO days - a NEW RECORD!
When asked what motivated him, his answer was powerful: he wants to create a legacy for his unborn baby boy, who will carry his name 💙
Markel plans to become an electrician and HVAC technician with the goal of starting his own business!
Markel, your energy and positivity are contagious, and you're an inspiration to everyone! We wish you the best in your next chapter, and we're here to support you at all times.
To our community: YOU made this possible. Your donations are so much more than items. They are second chances, and Markel is proof 🫶
