After serving in the Marines, Robert Jackson had thought he had won his biggest battle. Little did he know that he would come home to battle unemployment and homelessness. The city of Houston, Texas has more than ten thousand people living on the streets and one third of them are veterans. Though many veterans may be dealing with mental disorders and drug addictions, there are those who have fallen prey to just plain hard times. Many homeless veterans are women who are having trouble functioning outside of military life and need assistance adjusting to civilian life and finding employment. Jackson believes being over fifty was a handicap to his finding a job until he was introduced to Goodwill® of Houston. In one day Jackson not only found Goodwill® but a job as well and he has been working ever since. Just as Goodwill® stores look to people to donate used clothing and household items, Goodwill® depends on people who can donate a car to charity. Goodwill® works with a car donation program to bring much needed funds to the many programs they bring to the disabled and disadvantaged community. When you donate a car to Goodwill® you help them get more people off the streets and into a job where they can rebuild their lives.
