James Gober Jr.

Being blind has never been an excuse for James. He was raised to take care of himself. James has never asked for a free ride. All he wanted was a chance to make a living just like everybody else.

James came to Goodwill after being turned down for jobs before he could even really apply. A store manager focused on James’ abilities and almost immediately put him to work hanging clothes.

A few months after he was hired a Goodwill Career Counselor helped James get “Artie.” Artie is James’ second Seeing Eye Dog and is James’ constant companion and friend.

“All I have is my job and my dog,” said James. “Without Goodwill I wouldn’t have either one. Goodwill has really changed my life.”
