How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?
Through determination and self-assurance, they learned to thrive in the face of rejection — repurposing each failure into an opportunity to adjust, improve, and eventually succeed. Failure is not a dirty word. At Goodwin, we dare to say it’s essential to success.
My name is Steve Marris, and I am the founder of an organization dedicated to transforming the lives of homeless children and motherless babies. Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment where every child can grow with dignity, love, and hope. My work in this field was inspired by a deep conviction that no child should face the world alone. Seeing the struggles of children without parents or shelter motivated me to create a place where they could find not only care but also opportunity. Through our programs, we focus on providing essential needs such as food, shelter, healthcare, and education. Beyond meeting immediate needs, our goal is to equip these children with the skills and emotional support required to build independent and fulfilling lives. Every contribution, partnership, and act of kindness helps us continue this vital mission. Together, we can give these children more than survival—we can give them a future filled with hope, stability, and purpose. Thank you for joining hands with us in building brighter lives for those who need it most.
