Lucy, welcome to the Orchid forum.
If you don't mind me asking, was your friend able to grow this Goodyera? What is the origin of the plant?
Some years ago, a member of a local garden club grew and sold some Goodyera pubescens. I bought a plant that time with the purpose of re-naturalizing it in OUR forest North of Scranton. The plant actually bloomed the next year, but then in subsequent years slowly but surely declined. I still tried to save it, dug it up ca. 5 years later and brought it home. That was unfortunately the last thing I should have done. The plant simply died.
(The natural conditions are mixed forest, usually acidic soil. It grows in Oak-Pine forest. )
Now that is my experience with this Orchid.
If this were me, I would like to know if the plant came from a specific location, and would try to add my plant to that stand.
I myself don't think I could keep this plant alive.
