Overview
I am a proud veteran, and a proud father of 3 grown daughters. My oldest is a computer programmer, another runs her own day care center, and my youngest just graduated from high school.
My goals are to finish the welding training and attain full-time employment in manufacturing.
I need welding gear. This includes a welding helmet, flame-retardant jacket and gloves, as well as steel toe boots.
Meeting this need will help me because I will be able to use my own gear instead of borrowing from others, ensuring that it fits me properly and that it will not need to be replaced as quickly. Bringing my own gear to interviews also demonstrates that I am serious about my career to potential employers.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Michael fund this need.
