The Power of a Second Chance
Henry’s journey was far from easy, but the resources provided in the letter really made all the difference. The shelter connected him to job placement programs, where he could rebuild his resume and gain interview skills.
Henry did not give up, though his doubts were burgeoning. After all, he managed to get a part-time position in the grocery near his residence, and the management appreciated his sense of responsibility and willingness to learn. It was menial work, not anything to write home about, but it was a step forward-a stride toward progress.
Every paycheck brought Henry closer to independence. He started saving for long-term goals, such as renting an apartment and purchasing essential supplies. Every milestone reminded him of the stranger who had given him this opportunity to turn his life around.
