Shorone

Shorone faced a challenging two-hour commute via light rail and bus for his $15-per-hour job at Dairy Queen after incarceration. Now, at 51, he drives a 2012 Jeep Cherokee to his $24-per-hour construction job, operating a forklift. Grateful for the support from American Indian OIC/Takoda, he earned lift operation certificates, securing better employment opportunities. With assistance in job search, license recovery, and stress reduction, Shorone appreciates the dedicated team, recommending AIOIC/Takoda to others for a brighter future
