After being incarcerated for complicity of robbery, Dillon knew he needed to make a change. He battled with substance use on and off for six years but participated in programming at the Men’s Healing Place. He came to the Goodwill South Louisville Opportunity Center searching for a second chance and a better life. He utilized several of our free programs to enhance his skillset before being hired at our 2nd Chance Outlet as a material handler in 2023. During his employment, he gained his forklift certification, participated in the Good Smiles program and purchased a vehicle. With the help of his career coach, Dane’Sha Thompson, Dillon decided to pursue a career in the welding industry. He participated in Goodwill’s Work & Learn program, where he was paid to attend night classes twice per week at The Knight School of Welding. Dillon received a certification in MIG Welding on February 22, 2024.   Dillon is proud to announce that he has accepted a welding job making $20 per hour with benefits that will assist him in continuing his journey for a better life. He wants to give thanks to the South Louisville Opportunity Center staff, his Senior Store Manager Lesley King and God. Dillon is a passionate employee and we are proud of his achievements!
