Kim
Kim had been injured on the job at a local manufacturing plant and was assigned to light duty work through Holland Employment. They arranged for her to work at Goodwill Marion East for about eight months.

Her hard work and dedication impressed Store Manager Scott Wilson, and Kim genuinely enjoyed working at Goodwill, so they decided to make it a permanent arrangement. Kim has been with Goodwill East about two years and is one of the Assistant Managers.

Kim’s hearing disability is something both she and Goodwill strive to make work on both sides. Goodwill was instrumental in helping Kim get hearing aids and learning to use a vibrating phone. She has also been taking KOOSER classes through the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation on understanding hearing loss. By working together, Kim and Goodwill know her hearing difficulties will never overshadow her numerous skills and the many contributions she has made.
