Davin

Davin reached out to Goodwill after being laid off from his job at a well-known Oahu restaurant back in March because of the pandemic. He had tried applying for unemployment benefits on his own but was denied and left to his own devices. With help from the Goodwill Hawaii team, Davin learned about the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program and successfully applied for and received over $7,000 in back pay. He’s been able to use the funds to cover his rent, food and replenish his savings that he used up during the first shutdown.
