Goodwill

After I unloaded my donation at Goodwill, a woman and another store worker came out to meet me . The woman I had talked to on the phone before going to the Goodwill to ask about how to donate, and also about getting a job. I told her I was without a home and a job, living in my car and I want to donate some things. The other worker looked like a manager of sorts. He gave me a card with a number to call to apply for a job, told me to put down my name and contact info, said he would look for my application and bring it to his store manager and hoped to see my application.

A third person was there. He was the first person I met was when I dropped off my Goodwill donation, a guy who came out with a bin to put my stuff in. Seeing I was juggling things out of my car, he said 'take your time' and went inside to let me work it out. When I finished unloading, he came back with the 'call lady' and the 'manager'. Then afterwards he stayed and talked with me a bit. He said he'd been homeless before. 'You got to take care of yourself, nobody else will'. I gave him a hug.

He said he felt God blessed to get out of that situation. Told me things to do to get back up on my feet. Told me I had advantages having a car. That I could rent monthly at a hotel once I saved some money. Told me just keep at it one day at a time. Even reached into his own wallet for me before I stopped him.

Good people. People who've been there and willing to help.
