About four years ago, I had trouble finding a job. Then Goodwill® of San Antonio came around. They really helped me to get on my feet by giving me the training I needed. But that’s not all – they then helped me understand how to manage my finances.
I had a vision for my future and wrote it down. I shared that vision with my case manager at Goodwill. My credit score was terrible – in fact, it was 535. With Goodwill’s help, I eventually earned a score of about 730. That help included a three-day class that taught me about finances and improving my credit.
Rudy Batiilla stands in front of Goodwill's grounds maintenance building.
Once my finances were under control and my credit was solid, we worked together to plan for a vehicle and eventually a home for my family that was within my budget.
So much has changed in my life over the past four years. I have the strength I need to achieve my dreams. The job alone has built my self-confidence and, with the help of my finances, I can see my dreams coming true. My life is better, and the lives of my wife Gina and our twelve-year old, are better as well.
I’ve come so far and I’m totally in a daze about the changes in my life. Goodwill is there to offer whatever it takes to help a person become successful on their own.
