OUR BEGINNINGS & OUR FOUNDER

Our Legacy Continues

Good Samaritan Home began with a single belief from Dr. John David Graham: everyone deserves a safe place and someone willing to believe in their next chapter.

What started as one house grew into a community of homes and everyday acts of care… each one helping a new beginning take root.

John’s vision and legacy lives on today through the dedicated work of the Good Samaritan Home team.
