OUR MISSION
DES MOINES, IA
My Happy Place
My Happy Place – Des Moines is a community-based non-profit organization, incorporated in the state of Iowa. We are comprised of volunteers dedicated to making a real difference in the life of a sick child. We do so by providing these children with a bedroom makeover, thus providing them with a fun, safe and therapeutic environment where they can thrive and heal.
We work closely with the child and his/her parents so we can offer a bedroom that reflects their personal needs and desires.
My Happy Place – Des Moines is under the Group Exemption of My Happy Place – Mason City for 501(c)3 tax deductible purposes.

MEET OLIVIA
Sometimes the bravest of the brave come in tiny little bodies. Meet Olivia (Liv). She is an incredibly smart, creative, spunky 7-year-old with two little sisters who look up to her as their superhero, and for good reason. Liv has beat cancer in a BIG WAY. When cancer interrupted a family vacation two years ago, it had no idea what it was facing with this amazing family. We are so very excited to bring her a HAPPY PLACE made just for her, where she can celebrate being cancer free! We thought it would be best to hear Liv’s story directly from her.
