MEET OLIVIA STEFFENSMEIER

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 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.
