Thomas from Chicago, IL

Ready to work & support my kids; I need to reinstate my license & buy safety gear.

I'm in training at JARC to be a welder. To find work, I first need safety gear and to reinstate my license so I can commute.

Overview

I am a proud hardworking father of 4 currently enrolled in the Welding Fast Track program at Jane Addams Resource Corporation.

My goal is to support my family. To achieve this goal I will successfully complete welding training and pursue a career in manufacturing. I will continue to develop my skill set so I can accomplish more in my profession.

In order to commute to work, I need to reinstate my driving privileges. Reinstating my license will allow me to expand my job search and pursue more opportunities. Also, because safety is an integral part of welding I will need a welding jacket, gloves, helmet and steel toed boots.

I am confident that with this gear and my dedication to my career, I will be able to find a position that will allow me to care for and support my family.

I have known Thomas for about 5 months now. I really cannot say enough about Thomas' initiative, dependability, and drive while at JARC. I help him go thru the process of applying for public assistance. Welding gear and reinstating a driver's license are often expenses one does not account for when making a monthly budget; it would be great to see him receive this financial assistance.
