2020 Goodwill Achiever of the Year: Princess Robinson

When Princess first came to Goodwill in 2018 she didn’t seem to have much interest in working or even taking care of herself. In fact, Princess preferred sleeping to interacting with the staff and her peers.

But after some help from the Goodwill staff to really find her niche, something in Princess clicked on like a lightbulb. She found a love for sorting socks and quickly became a pro at the task, making each stack neater and quicker than the last.

After finding a task she enjoyed doing, she has been able to overcome her shyness and open up around others, showing improvement in her productivity and attention to detail. Princess is quick to flash her ornery grin now and won’t hesitate to joke around with you but still gets her work done and keeps any drama at bay.

She takes pride in her appearance and loves to have her hair and nails done, living up to her name.

In the future, Princess hopes to gain a community job and work towards an independent living situation. With help from the Goodwill staff, there’s no doubt Princess can achieve anything she puts her mind to.
