My Happy Place

My Happy Place is a 501(c)3 organization comprised of passionate volunteers whose intention is to create healing
environments for individuals who are struggling with a serious health issue. A “healing environment” is often defined as
one that has a nurturing and therapeutic effect. We simply call it, “my happy place”.

For the person on a serious health journey, a healing environment can help to lower stress and anxiety, reduce pain,
accelerate recovery and promote a sense of well-being. My Happy Place does all that, and more. Often times, the news
that the individual is going to have a “happy place” created for them, is the first good news they’ve received since their
diagnosis. This gives them something to look forward to other than focusing on their illness.

We work closely with the recipient to design and personalize the selected space at their home that will provide the most
benefit. We will create a place that embodies soothing colors, cleanliness, sounds, scents and visual stimuli. We use
specially curated items that will provide comfort, resulting in a new space that will help to strengthen their ability to cope
and recover.

What we offer is one part of the healing process, and we believe a very significant part. Our hope is that each time
the recipient walks into their “happy place”, they are reminded they are not alone on their journey-they have the love and
support of friends, family and their community.

We serve qualifying recipients in Harpswell and a 45 mile radius which includes Brunswick, Topsham, Bath and Portland, ME

MEET LYNN SEAQUIST

My name is Lynn. My husband, two sons, and I are so excited to be given the gift of a makeover for our bedroom. My husband and I met in 1998. We have been married for 23 years. We met while working for a company that provides educational travel programs for both students and adults. We have two beautiful sons. One who is 16 and one who just started college and is 19.. We were ecstatic to find out about makeover for our bedroom, to give me a place of serenity during my cancer diagnosis treatment. READ MORE HERE

MEET ADELYNN MOODY

Adelynn’s story through the eyes of her mother, Briget: Adelynn is a beautiful, vibrant, goofy, smart and fierce young girl that unfortunately has had to fight more than half her young life. Adelynn was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of 5, just 6 months before starting Kindergarten. She endured chemotherapy treatments, bone marrow biopsies, blood transfusions, platelet transfusions, spinal taps, and all of the at-home medication that comes with the treatment of this disease. She was a true fighter through it all! Adelynn endured about two and a half years of treatment, when she finally became cancer free! The day was finally here! She rang the bell at Maine Children’s Cancer Program Clinic. She could enjoy just being a kid again, being able to ride her bike, have play dates and regain some energy.

Unfortunately, Adelynn relapsed in March of 2020 at the age of 8 years old. She was in the middle of her second-grade school year, and it was the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was almost harder to hear the second time knowing that your baby girl is going to have to go through it all again. It just wasn’t fair. Adelynn had to go straight to Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital in Portland, Maine. Days turned into months. BBCH became home away from home. The worst part was not being able to have visitors due to the Covid-19 virus. It was so scary knowing how sick my little girl was and feeling so alone. Her treatment this time around has been even more intense. Adelynn has had multiple kinds of intense, grueling chemotherapy treatments, bone marrow biopsies, blood transfusions, platelet transfusions, spinal taps and many medications around the clock. Her first Medi-port that was surgically placed became infected within the first couple months.
