Peter from Des Plaines, IL

I've trained to be a welder, but before I can find work I need equipment.

I'm excited to start a career and a stable life. I need help to buy safety equipment-- employers will expect me to have it before they hire!

Update on Peter and the funds from his need Jan 17, 2020

Hello. Peter left the JARC training program abruptly. In order to use your donations properly, we will be helping two other trainees with similar needs to Peters. Both Mark and Brandon both need equipment for their careers, and your generous donation will now help two people. Thank you so much for donating! (Attached are picture of both trainees you are helping.)

Overview

I am an addict in recovery and am finally trying to build a future for myself now. In the past I struggled with substance abuse and had family tragedies that really set me back in life. But now that I am sober and the family issues have resolved, I finally can pursue a career in welding.

My goals and plans are to finish the welding program at Jane Addams and find a good paying job so than I can start saving up to buy a car and a house.

I need the gear required for my welding career -- a welding helmet, the gloves, a welding jacket, and steel toe boots.

Meeting this need, getting this gear, will let me focus on the training, and reduce stress during this program and as I start my new career.
