Meet Our Donors

Gwen Scheffel

Goodwin House Alexandria Resident

“When I first moved here in 2018, I had only a basic understanding of the many benefits of being a Goodwin Living Resident. Now, my knowledge of these benefits is deeper and continues to develop. I am proud to call Goodwin House Alexandria my home, and I feel that the people who live and work here are my extended family. Throughout the pandemic, the care provided by our health care team has been exceptional. The activities have been engaging and carefully thought out. I donate regularly to the Foundation because I am truly grateful for the quality of life here and for the faith-based principles that guide the decisions that are made to maintain and continually improve the entire organization.”

The View Alexandria Residents

“Kindness, generosity and understanding towards each other reflects an encompassing worldview that reinforces all of our well-being. 

Here at The View Alexandria , residents and staff from all over this planet have needs and strengths to contribute and share. We are fortunate to be able to recognize what the staff give to us and share our own bounty to the benefit of all.  

We encourage everyone to support the Goodwin Living Foundation for the betterment of all those in the Goodwin Living community.”

Raymond Anderson

Goodwin House Bailey’s Crossroads Team Member

“I was retired and bored and my wife suggested that I find something worthwhile to do, so I sought to become a driver at GHBC.  I consider it to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  Being here has enriched my life greatly.  When my wife passed, the love and support I received from so many here helped me get through some difficult days.  It is truly a blessing to be part of such a loving and caring organization as GHBC.  Now, I come to serve and hope to make blessings in other people’s lives.  I also give back by donating to the Foundation in order to support the wonderful residents and my fellow team members in so many meaningful ways.”

Daughter of Former Goodwin House Bailey’s Crossroads Resident

“I know she [my mother] supported the Goodwin House charitable efforts during the years she lived there; I definitely consider my own contributions a legacy in her memory and in honor of the many caring employees, both then and now, who help provide a loving and welcoming environment for all the residents.”
