(ALLENTOWN, PA) \u2013 The Clean Team Workforce congratulates its Employee of the Month for April, Troy D.<\/p>\n
Troy lived in the Upper Perkiomen Valley area his entire life before coming to the Allentown Rescue Mission. He graduated from Upper Perkiomen High School and enjoyed what he described as a \u201cnormal life\u201d with his parents and three older siblings.<\/p>\n
Troy worked various jobs over his lifetime, but in 2009, he left full-time employment to care for his ailing parents. For fifteen years, he cared for his parents while working part-time jobs. His mother passed away during the pandemic, and his father a year later.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Troy\u2019s parents didn\u2019t prepare a will. In the end, Troy defaulted on the mortgage of his parents\u2019 home. He had little money and nowhere to go after the house was lost. Troy\u2019s niece told him about the Allentown Rescue Mission, and he decided it could be a good place for him.<\/p>\n
While in the Emergency Shelter, Troy discovered that the Mission\u2019s Transformation Program not only taught life skills, workforce development, and Bible classes, but also offered men a job on the Clean Team Workforce after graduating from the program. Joining the Transformation Program seemed like the \u201cperfect solution\u201d to jumpstart his new life and career.<\/p>\n
Troy devoted himself to the Transformation Program. He learned more about himself by learning more about God. He was a model student, always inquisitive, kind, and helpful to others.<\/p>\n
After graduation, Troy joined the Clean Team Workforce. From the start, he proved to be flexible and a hard worker. \u201cI don\u2019t favor one job over another as each can be a positive and rewarding challenge,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s number one goal is to save money so he can return to a stable life. With his positive attitude and trust in the Lord, the Allentown Rescue Mission knows Troy can have a bright future.<\/p>\n
