Donor Stories

McKendree Village Foundation board member Suevelyn Peters made a legacy gift to the Foundation with a Charitable Gift Annuity.

"A Charitable Gift Annuity gives me an excellent rate of return while living and leaves a "living" legacy to McKendree Village after I have passed on."








Mr & Mrs Charlie Reich include McKendree Village in Their Estate Plans

Asked why they included McKendree Village in their estate plans, Mr. Reich replied, "There are many reasons for doing this and I'll briefly cover a few.  My Mom and Dad moved into the Towers (Independent Living) 40+ years ago.  My Mom is in the Manor (Assisted Living), age 96 1/2.and is very well taken care of daily. When I brag on McKendree, I always try to say they take care of my Mom, by making sure she is eating, taking her medicines as prescribed and helping her keep clean, but also importantly they seem to CARE for her personally.  I sincerely do really appreciate the staff and management daily.  Saying Thank You is Not Sufficient, so I'm trying to also show my thanks through the Foundation".
