Goodwill: Meet Rick

Goodwill Houston is changing the game for people with disabilities. Rick, a successful accountant, was diagnosed with dementia at 53. Soon routine tasks became nearly impossible to complete. Rick's wife was struggling between working fulltime and caring for him when a friend recommended Goodwill. Rick was able to secure a job at Goodwill where they recognized his strengths and gave him an opportunity to continue his success in the workplace.
