For Families
Your child deserves a room built just for them.
Dream bedrooms, accessible bathrooms, and therapy rooms for children with special needs. Designed around who they are, built by community, and always free.
since 2012
Built close to home
Every makeover happens in the greater Atlanta area. Staying local means our designers, volunteers, and construction partners can be hands-on from the first home visit to the final reveal, and your family stays close to the care and community you already know.
Not sure if your home is in our service area? Reach out. We'd love to hear your story.

From first call to big reveal
Every family's timeline looks a little different, and the whole journey often spans several months. Here's what to expect.
You Tell Us Your Story
Fill out a short application about your child: their diagnosis, their personality, their dreams, and the way their current space falls short. As part of the application you'll record a short video walking us through the space, so we can see it the way you do. Every application is read by a real person.
Applications typically take 10–15 minutes. You'll need basic medical info, a few photos, and a phone to record a quick video of the current space.
We Get to Know Your Family
Our team reviews every application with care. Families who move forward are invited to a Zoom interview so we can meet you, hear your child's story, and learn what makes them light up. Selected families then receive a home visit where we walk the space together.
Designers Dream It Up
It starts with the layout. Our designers draw several options for the space, and you walk your favorites at full scale before choosing one. Then come the colors, the characters, and the therapeutic details woven into every surface, every shelf, every detail. Whether it's a dream bedroom, an accessible bathroom, or a therapy room, every design starts with your child.
Good things take time. Design, funding, materials, and trade schedules all have to line up, so it can be several months between approval, design, and the reveal. We'll keep you posted along the way.
The Build Begins
Once the design is final and materials are in hand, construction partners bring it to life. Every build runs on its own schedule. Your family steps away, and when you come back, everything has changed.
The Big Reveal
Your child walks through the door and sees a room designed just for them. That look on their face — the gasp, the tears, the spinning around trying to take it all in — is what every donor, volunteer, and partner works toward.
— Oakley's family (Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus, 2023)You would never know in her tiny little life that she had ever dealt with anything. She's the one who reminds her family to be grateful, to not forget what they have, and to find the joy even where it seems it shouldn't be.
Every application tells a story
We don't just look at a diagnosis. We look at the whole picture. How would a new space change your child's daily life?
- Daily impact & safety How does the current space affect your child's independence or quality of life?
- Financial circumstances We prioritize families who couldn't otherwise afford these modifications.
- Potential for transformation Will a new space meaningfully change how your child lives, plays, or heals?
- Scope & feasibility Can we build the right space within your home's existing footprint?
