Goodwill Helps Visually Impaired Man Land Job and Succeed at New York's Finest; Darryl Humphrey Named Goodwill's 2008 Graduate Of The Year

From Ascribe Newsfeed:

Darryl Humphrey was unemployed for a year and a half, with no job prospects and no source of income. After working for the same agency for 14 years while his vision slowly deteriorated, Humphrey was let go with no referrals. More than a year later, he had exhausted his savings and applied for public assistance when he learned about Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey's program for people with visual impairments. Humphrey had long dreamed of working for the New York Police Department (NYPD), and Goodwill helped make that dream a reality. Today, he is employed full-time as an administrative aide. Due to his determination and drive, Goodwill is recognizing Darryl Humphrey as Goodwill Industries International's 2008 Graduate of the Year. Read more from this post.
