PEABODY, MA — For the last five years, a Peabody nurse has made Thanksgiving happen for strangers. Last year, she prepped more than 200 meals. It’s a big undertaking – but this year is different.

“I can’t even tell you how many people are messaging me saying, ‘I have been on life support for the last three months and I just got home from COVID. My mother died, my father died, my brother died. I don’t have anywhere to go on Thanksgiving. I don’t have anyone to eat with,’” Gina Goodwin shared.

So the mother of six will feed them. All of them. This year, she’s already received 800 requests.
