The Room to Dream Foundation teamed up with Lynda Onthank, Owner and Principal of Onthank Designs, and completed their most recent project. The project was to renovate a converted porch that was in poor condition to accommodate Jonathan, a four year old boy who cannot walk or talk and has global development issues. With the assistance of Interior Design Students from local colleges, the room was completely refurnished with new wallboards, hardwood floor, TV’s, ceiling track lighting, and fans. The new room was also divided into two areas, Jonathan’s bedroom and a play area. At the request of Jonathan’s mother, a love seat that converts to a bed was installed so she could monitor him when he is sick. Also, the TV’s were installed so Jonathan can watch them from his bed when he’s resting. A divider wall was also built to store various medical equipment that is needed to take care of Jonathan.
The Room to Dream Foundation is a Boston-based not-for-profit organization whose mission is to create healing environments for children who are facing chronic illnesses. As they recuperate and recover, the hope is that their renovated spaces will improve their quality of life, promote strength, imagination, self-worth, and aid in their recovery processes. The foundation typically undertakes 6 to 8 projects a year relying on donations and volunteer work, and the response to its most recent one was as positive as ever.
“We do not know how to begin to thank you for your time, dedication and creative talent,” proclaimed Jonathans’ mother. “Jonathan’s room is absolutely amazing! We feel blessed to have been selected for such a special project. Jonathan is settling in and the whole family is enjoying the space! Please stop by any time you are in the area. We miss you.”
