When you’re going through a tough time, it’s important that you have a safe space to retreat to. And that’s doubly true for kids dealing with a life-threatening illness. Thankfully, the not-for-profit Special Spaces is helping to give these kids their dream bedroom makeover! Special Spaces Cleveland Director Shari Caruso, and Special Spaces Cleveland Decorator Jen Fix, stopped by to tell us more about the program.
Here’s what Hollie & Alexa wanted to know from Shari & Jen:
- How and when did Special Spaces begin?
- Who do you serve, and why?
- Who can submit a child’s application?
- What happens when a child’s name is submitted?
- What are selections based on?
- How long before the family knows if the child was selected?
- How do you decide what the room will look like?
- Can people volunteer to help with the room makeovers?
- Are there other ways to help out, like donating or sponsoring?
Do you know a child who would benefit from Special Spaces? Will you be volunteering for any of Special Spaces projects? Tweet us @LIVEONLakeside or find us on Facebook and Instagram at ‘Live on Lakeside’ and let us know!
