Reflections on a Lifetime of Commitment.

“It’s ironic how a seemingly small decision early in life can lead to a lifetime ambition. While in college I became involved in a sorority whose mission is sight conservation and aid to people who are blind. Later, I joined the local chapter. Our job was to lend a hand at the then Association for the Blind on Monroe Avenue. Back then, our projects included sprucing up the apartments in which people who were blind lived, taking employees shopping, and planning outings. For more than thirty years, I’ve volunteered as a driver, taking people to doctor appointments, meetings, etc.

In everything I’ve ever done with ABVI–Goodwill, I’ve always felt appreciated—deriving tremendous satisfaction from knowing that my contribution was valued by both the organization and the people served.

Now, with three grown children, giving back to the organization that has given me so much has become more important than ever. That’s why I’ve provided in my will for those organizations like ABVI–Goodwill who’ve given me so much personal satisfaction—in a way that will provide for them and the people they serve in the future. Creating a legacy is truly a gift—a gift of immeasurable value anyone can afford to give.
