Jimmy Spears came into The Father Center of New Jersey looking for assistance with employment. He was determined to work. He had just moved to New Jersey from Florida and needed to find a job quickly so he could take care of his son, whom he was trying to enroll in school. It had been 15 years since Jimmy had lived in New Jersey, and a lot of things had changed.
“Jimmy is a very nice guy who wants what is best for his son. He didn’t want his son to see the struggles he was having,” notes Monique Jackson, Client Service Specialist at The Father Center of New Jersey, who helped Jimmy complete a Trane application, and also provided him with resources for housing and food.
A week later, Jimmy, who has a background working in construction and lifting heavy equipment, returned to The Father Center to announce that Trane had hired him for the second shift, which is the one he wanted. He also shared that his son was starting school. He is grateful to Monique for providing assistance in such a timely manner, making it possible for him to buy new things for his son.
