🎉 Join us in celebrating Amber - a loving mom who overcame self doubt!
When she found out she was pregnant her senior year of high school, Amber dropped out to take care of her soon-to-be baby girl. She'd go on to have two more children and put all of her time and energy into being the best mom she could be.
When she found out about Goodwill Acadiana's HiSET program through social media, she immediately reached out and enrolled! Then self doubt crept in, as she worked on the packet a bit, but then put it down for months.
That packet was always there, waiting for her to pick it up, and after about 8 months, she did just that. After picking up where she left off, she passed the practice test and all five HiSET tests on her FIRST try 💙
She's now looking into Phlebotomy programs (as well as possibly expanding into EKG Technician training), and she's excited to cross the stage in December with South Louisiana Community College!
Amber, your compassion and perseverance are inspiring. You can do anything you set your mind to, and we're so excited to see what you do next!
To our community: YOU made this possible. Your donations are so much more than items. They are second chances, and Amber is proof 🫶
