Our Success StoriesSee All Success Stories

Meet Laurie Parish

Kennesaw resident Laurie Parish spent the last 10 years living with her daughter and two grandchildren. During that decade, the childcare assistance she provided was an invaluable support to her family. As Laurie’s grandchildren grew up, the need for her help decreased, so she moved out of her daughter’s house and began searching for employment.

Meet Bradley Walker

Pennsylvania native Bradley Walker made his way to Stone Mountain in 1997 in search of better job opportunities and quality of life. Shortly after relocating, he met his wife, L’Cretia, and the couple decided to move to her home state of Tennessee.

Meet David Weekley

David Weekley’s experience with Goodwill of North Georgia dates back to his teenage years, when the agency was located on Glenwood Avenue in Atlanta.

Meet Joshua Ellis

Joshua, a high-school junior, initially visited Goodwill due to his interest in the Welding Program. While excited for the welding program, Joshua’s mother and Goodwill Training Manager thought that participating in the This Way ONward Program (TWO), an 8-week paid internship program that focuses on targeting youth and young adults might be a be a wonderful way for Joshua to gain first job experience until he was able to participate in the welding program.

Meet Radhika Tripurani

Radhika spent many years working in the marketing department of a small, local travel firm. During the pandemic, travel traffic demand drastically declined. Like many others, this resulted in Radhika being laid off. Determined to never be in a position where she could be laid off again, Radhika decided to pivot into a new career in technology.

Sandy educated Julia about the many resources available at Goodwill and the two discussed Julia’s personal and professional goals.

Meet Saryah Beard

Meet Corey Osley

Union City resident Corey Osley had years of experience in warehouse work, spending a lot of time on a forklift, but always dreaming of bigger machines. In July 2021, he decided it was time to pursue a new career path and came to Goodwill’s Decatur Career Center to learn more about the Supply Chain Management program and its transportation track, which would allow him to earn his CDL. Corey was grateful to be able to enroll in the program at no cost, thanks to the support provided by SNAP Works.
