It’s a fact that Goodwill® helps people get a new lease on life. For Barry Harney, surviving a horrendous car accident was like getting a second chance at life. After months of hospitalization and grueling months of rehabilitation, Harney learned to walk again defying even his doctors. He was left with short term memory loss and weakness on his left side. Though he had been an aspiring college football player prior to the accident he was now faced with a change in plans. Employed and married after graduating college, he was looking to get serious and then found Goodwill®. Thanks to car donation, Goodwill’s® transitional program was there for Harney. Goodwill® works with people with numerous disabilities and Harney’s short term memory issue was a barrier they were able to work with. After four and a half months of training he was permanently placed within Goodwill®.When you donate a car to Goodwill®, your car donation continues to help people go through their transitional program each year. Car donation is an important source of donations that Goodwill® uses to continue to reach out to people like Harney who are faced changes in their life plans.
