What is a memorable story you have about Windwood?

"When the kids discharge, we look through the pictures in their discharge scrapbook together and talk about the experiences they had, relationships made, challenges they faced, goals they worked on and progress they made. The kids will often “beam” with pride when talking about their activities and accomplishments while flipping the pages. I will then sign the book and offer encouragement for them to continue the good work that was started at WWF."

Why is Windwood special to you?

"Windwood is special in that is fills a unique need for regional boys that have endured hardship in their homes. Children are our society’s most valuable commodity and Windwood provides a place for healing and growing and the Lowcountry of SC is lucky to have this organization in place."

What is a memorable story you have about Windwood?

"April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and in April 2021, the Windwood boys and staff came out to the IOP Exchange Club to fish on our waterfront dock and have lunch. As Chair of the CAP committee at the Club, I was present for this afternoon adventure. I was getting lunch set up and all of a sudden I heard cheering and excitement. I came running out and one of the boys had caught a flounder. Everyone was so excited. It was a great moment!"

Why is Windwood special to you?

“Windwood is special to me because I feel that God put it in my heart to work with this special group of boys, who actually teach me more than I ever thought possible. They warm my heart with how resilient and sweet they can be, and I just feel grateful to have a small part in their lives. If I can be any sort of positive light during their time at Windwood, that is my ultimate goal.”

What do you hope to see Windwood accomplish in the next 35 years?

“It’s so bittersweet when a resident leaves that you build a relationship with. I would love for there to be another program to get updates on how the boys are doing in their new homes once they leave Windwood.”

What is a memorable story you have about Windwood?

Thus far at Windwood, my most memorable moments involve hanging with the boys at Trunk or Treat (such great Halloween costumes) and sharing Thanksgiving dinner with them at Life Park. However, sharing God’s word with the boys at Sunday school is always special to me.
