A Room to Heal, Inc. Details
A Room to Heal A Room to Heal creates healing environments in the homes of children affected by serious medical conditions.A Room to Heal, Inc. is the "brain child" of two local mothers who wanted to make a difference in our local community. One of the mothers, whose son had leukemia and subsequently a bone marrow transplant, was exposed to a world many do not often see. Both women, very involved in their community and both exposed to a wealth of resources, felt the passion to create this organization to help those in need: both the families/caregivers and the child who is suffering from a critical illness.The design of an environment can have a therapeutic effect on a sick child. Studies clearly show that a whole range of environmental factors - including lighting, color, aroma, views, art, scale, proportion, sound, texture and materials - have a powerful healing and therapeutic effect on patients. Healing environments may lead to: faster patient recoveries, reduced pain, fewer cases of infection, greater patient satisfaction, and reduced stress levels among parents & caregivers. Good environments make us feel better, and feeling better is the key to giving.The kick-off event began in December 2005 with a fundraising luncheon to share the idea of the project. Over 40 local professionals attended, many giving donations and signing up to be involved. From that luncheon a Board was created with 7 people meeting every few weeks to develop the organization, including creating a referral process, mailing list, fundraising, promotional materials, etc. In 2006 A Room to Heal became incorporated and obtained its 501(c)3 non-profit status.
