#MissionMoment: Mary and Donald’s story is one of resilience and success. Nearly two years ago, they relocated from Pakistan and secured their first jobs at Goodwill Industries of Central Florida. Donald, a dentist with experience in his family’s business in Pakistan, and Mary, with over 20 years of teaching experience, found themselves starting anew in a different country. The support from their Prosperity Planner, Sandra Marrero, played a pivotal role in their journey.
With Sandra’s guidance, they set professional and financial goals and took steps towards achieving them. A significant milestone was reached recently when they purchased their own home. This accomplishment came after diligently building their credit and saving money, following the advice of their Prosperity Planner on navigating the home-buying process. Sandra provided them with information on government programs, incentives, and recommendations for realtors and lenders.
After an intensive six-month search, Mary and Donald found a home that felt like the right fit. They are thrilled and grateful for the stability and support provided by Goodwill, which made this achievement possible. With their new home secured, Mary and Donald now feel prepared to pursue their career objectives with renewed confidence.
