Jason is officially back in the workforce, putting in over 40 hours a week at Alachua County Animal Services! This is a massive milestone, as Jason is returning to full-time employment after being out of work for two years.

In the photo below, Jason is joined by Gina Peebles and our new Executive Director, Alana Grier. We are thrilled to have Alana leading our clubhouse community as we continue to support members like Jason in reclaiming their futures.

Jason is currently working hard to pay off fines and get his driver’s license back. The path to stability isn’t easy when the system creates barriers; because he currently lacks a license, Jason pays for an Uber to and from work every single day. That is the level of commitment it takes to succeed, and at the GOC, we are proud to provide the community support that stands behind that determination.

A huge thank you to Alachua County and Gina Peebles for seeing Jason’s potential and offering this second chance. Your partnership is changing lives and proving that when we invest in people, our whole community grows stronger.

Keep going, Jason! We are all in your corner.
