Comments for A Cause: My Happy Place

Recently I became aware of an amazing organization right here in North Iowa. It’s called My Happy Place. While I love the Comments for a Cause idea, I don’t always participate each month!  I feel very strongly about only participating when I find a cause or organization that strongly moves me and that is the case this month!  This group is a non-profit organization dedicated to making a difference in our community’s.  They work with sick children and families to create a fun and safe living space for the child at home!  

From their website,

“We do this by working closely with the child and families to design and redecorate a personalized bedroom within the family’s home. We fill this space with items that are meaningful to the child and in a style they choose.  Our goal is to help as many sick children as possible, one child at a time, one community at a time.  We believe that every child deserves their very own happy place.”

So far, through their efforts they have decorated 19 rooms and have 4 coming up!  They’ve decorated rooms to be like the inside of a fish tank, a man cave for a teen age boy, one to appear like an outdoor tree house/camping scene, and many dreams have come true!  What a fantastic way to brighten a child’s day that faces so much adversity!

Want to help out?  They are always accepting volunteers, donations, and looking for corporate sponsors!  They also recently held their annual fundraiser called My Happy Hula!  Do you know a child that is sick and could benefit from brightening their day through a redecorated room??  They can apply or you can apply for them HERE!

Too many kids are sick in today’s world and it breaks my heart.  Since My Happy Place is run completely on donations, I’ve decided to donate 50 cents for every comments on my blog during the month of February!  And while this won’t renovate a child’s room alone, I’m happy to know that we will work together so brighten someone’s day!  So, please comment away!!
