Tammy Marcum

The change in Tammy has been nothing less than amazing. After graduating from the West Virginia School of the Blind, she struggled to find sustainable work. That along with the death of her mother left Tammy angry and bitter. In the darkest times she felt like a failure with very little hope.

After losing another job, Tammy decided to give Goodwill a try. She was given an opportunity to work hanging clothes at the Goodwill production plant where she has blossomed.

With the help of supportive coworkers and supervisors, Tammy’s attitude toward others and even about herself began to improve. She takes pride in her work, hanging more than 1,000 pieces of clothes per day. That work ethic earned her the 2006 Donated Goods Processing Employee of the Year.

“I wish my mother could have seen me win the award, ”said Tammy. “But I’m happy now, and I wouldn’t trade my job for nothing, oh no.”
