Meet Keaton: "I'm Happy I Found Goodwill"

Keaton, a Goodwill Acadiana team member

💙 Meet Keaton - a man with a contagious smile who turned his life around!

Before Goodwill, Keaton was in a bike accident, and he went through an extensive healing and therapy process. He said "My life was rough. I didn't know which way to turn." After recovering, he tried to find a job but didn't have any luck, until he found Goodwill.

"I'm happy I found Goodwill, because it turned my life around."

Keaton's been in the Goodwill family for 6 years, and his favorite part of the job is "bringing people in, sharing the word [about what we do], and helping others!" When he started, our Services team helped him develop his job skills to make sure he was set up for success, and he was happy to have a fresh start!

He also dresses up and helps our team pass out candy to the kids every Halloween for Treats at the Village! If you know Keaton, you know that his energy and smile are contagious.

"Goodwill is a very helpful place. If you need anything, we're here for you to guide you through the right path. We're always open arms with a big smile"
