Describing the vision
Being a mother of five and grandmother of fourteen, I understand the need of having a comfortable and nice place to call home when you walk in . Trained in home design, I became an event planner, outreach worker and evangelist. I had the opportunity to visit many homes at times. I saw the need and the despair of families. Their homes in need of items, despair of single Moms, and children dreaming of having a pretty room. Parents able to only provide the basics and desiring to do so much more. Some parents just not knowing how to design their place, not knowing how or where to start!
Seeing so many people who live in poverty, living in such indecent surroundings is so sad. Seeing also the increase in Thrift stores which has booming business now, and their pricing rising to seemingly benefit the middle class instead of the poor. Now during this Covit Pandemic families are in their homes and becoming more depressed with loss of jobs ,needing to replace items they need . Staying longer hrs in their depressive surroundings .
As I Traveled I saw items that were being discarded that could have helped someone’s home be comfortable. Items discarded by others who bought a newer style or discarded because of slight damage taken away by the collection trucks and crushed. Many people do not know how to decorate or how to use what they have and revise or use in a different way. I realized so many people could possible help change this in the lives of some people.
Experiencing the joy of a child, mother ,or couple going into a newly painted and decorated room that really doesn’t take a lot!
Having a couple enjoy their newly decorated Living room, kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom… what a blessing!
Bright happy painted room, simple bed spread, curtains, pillows , pictures, decent bed etc
