Testimonials

“ABVIGoodwill provided me with a large kitchen timer. One that can hang on the wall. You can hear it and see it. And with special half-lens glasses, I can actually see the ingredients and can cook again.”
— Cynthia Archbold

“It is a wonderful thing to be understood by others. They showed me techniques for navigating my new living space. And restored my confidence. Now I go out every chance I get. I got some audio books too, which began to take my mind off myself.”
— Hisako Hess

“People don’t know the capabilities of people who have disabilities. They don’t know what I can do.”
— Crandall LaPlante


 

“I learned Windows, Word, Braille translation and other software.”
— Ken Bremer

"I wish every person who really needs the help of ABVI Goodwill could have the benefit of their services. I wish they could all have the opportunities that I've had. Through their Career Vision Program, I learned the skills I needed to land a good job."
— Jeffrey Hodson

“I don’t exaggerate when I say ABVIGoodwill gave me my life back.”
— Albina Grum

“Until I went to ABVIGoodwill,
I thought my life was over.”
— Dominick Fiore
