Meet Alaina👋

Alaina, a single mom to two amazing girls, whose journey embodies the spirit of overcoming adversity and embracing opportunity.

Before her path led her to Goodwill, Alaina faced tough times. She knows the sting of losing a job and the uncertainty of not having a place to call home. But in the midst of it all, the Big Spring community pointed her towards Goodwill, and that's where her story took a turn for the better.

Thinking back to the day she got hired, Alaina's face lights up.

“You should have been with me the day I got this position,” Alaina said. “Everything just fell in place.”
