C.A.W.E.S. Transformation

So a few years ago I was going through a very rough time in my life. I had to find something to clear my head and something that I could turn my energy around because I had to stop feeling sorry for myself. So I phoned the women's shelter in Red Deer and asked them if they needed some volunteers. The lady I spoke with asked what I did because she saw my email signature and thought I would be able to help with a make over project to update some rooms for the women and children that come to live with them. I set up a meeting to see go see the rooms for myself and when I walked in I felt so cold. The rooms were so not inviting and had a hospital feel to them. I couldn't imagine the feeling they have running for their lives let alone stay in a room that isn't very inviting or warm??? Like my motto says, every room deserves to sparkle!!!!! And I knew in my heart I had to help. Since that day I have been raising money to transform the rooms so that when these women and children that have to go there, can feel safe and warm and have the energy and strength they need to start all over. After talking to the ladies in the shelter and being there almost everyday for 2 weeks I feel like its such a big family and I was so honored to work there. I raised enough so far to do 2 rooms and those rooms I am hoping are just the beginning of what I can do for that whole place. I am so grateful to each and every person who was able to help me with this incredible journey!!! I have met so many amazing women along the way and I can't wait to continue to work on the rest of the rooms!!!!
