"There's No Place Like Home"

Your recurring donation makes our goal of completing 10 – 12 spaces per year possible, allowing these makeovers to be the beautiful gift they were intended to be, with no financial burden placed on the recipient’s family or friends.

We invite you to join us on the yellow brick road, and become a “There’s No Place Like Home” club member

The words “there’s no place like home” from the classic film The Wizard of Oz, are never truer than when we are feeling ill or are recovering from an illness. It’s during these times, when we seek comfort and rest, that our bedroom becomes our sacred space within our home.

*MY HAPPY PLACE is a local non-profit that redecorates and creates joy filled spaces for men, women and children dealing with life -threatening illnesses.
