Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Help Others to Dress for Success


--by Aurelia, posted Feb 5, 2010

I heard a woman saying she wished her husband could find a job. She felt he wasn't considered because his clothing was old and stained. He had been unemployed for a while and money was tight.  He was a large man, size 3XL. This made it hard to find clothing at the thrift shops.

My husband used to be that size and I went into his closet and found a nice shirt and gave it to the wife. She was very thankful. Her husband looked neat and tidy for the interview and got the job.

Easy to do...Clean out your closets! Donate to Good Will or a thrift shop. Times are harder than ever and more and more people are turning to these shops for much needed suits and clothing for their interviews.
