Benny Guidry - A SEARCH Success Story

Like many people, Mr. Benny Guidry was greatly affected by the downturn in our economy. In 2009, he lost his job and thus began a challenging search for work. Benny soon discovered that finding a job was not as easy as it had been years prior. After going through his savings, Benny lost his apartment; not long after, his wallet was stolen. With no identification and no place to live, life became even more difficult.

Benny was referred to SEARCH Disability Specialist, Charity Dominguez, by Donnie Wilson at Lord of the Streets to begin the lengthy process of obtaining his identity once again. In order to receive a new ID, Benny had to produce his birth certificate- a document lost many years ago. With the help of Charity Dominguez, as well as Edith Lopez and Jackie Simons from SEARCH’s Employment Services program, Benny finally received his ID after nearly a year of fighting for it. A weight had truly been lifted from his shoulders.

Benny’s future suddenly became much brighter. He became employed as a Business Strategist with A Rocket Moving & Storage, Inc. where he concentrates on creating business opportunities for the company.

Benny has been a true inspiration to us all!
