Dear Supporter,
On these last few days of the giving season, I wanted to share Joe's story with you.
Joe came to Humanim in a wheelchair after being a bystander victim in a drive-by shooting in Baltimore City. Because of his injury, he faced significant challenges finding employment that would accommodate his disability. Through Humanim's employment services, Joe was introduced to our social enterprise iScan, a document conversion, management, and digital imaging service, where he was soon hired and trained in an entry level position at their MVA document scanning center in Glen Burnie, MD.
A proactive and diligent employee, Joe was soon promoted to Site Supervisor as part of iScan's document scanning contract with Maryland Assessments and Taxation, where he would go on to manage the project successfully for the next decade. When the contract ended, Joe’s manager found another document scanning role working with the State of Maryland and at the same location that would benefit from his skills. Joe applied and was given the job offer. Today, Joe continues to enjoy what is now a 17+ year career, and maintains a relationship with his former management team at iScan, who could not be more proud of Joe’s success.
This new year, help fund new beginnings like Joe's by making a tax-deductible donation to Humanim.
At Humanim, we believe that every human being has potential and the right to economic opportunity, despite what social and financial barriers they may face. Your support allows us to help people like Joe who have faced significant challenges in life and deserve the opportunity to forge a new path.
