Anna's Room

Anna is 2 years old and was born with Partial Trisomy 8P, a genetic disorder which affects her level of independence. One of the first things we noticed when meeting her is that she has an adorable and contagious smile which can light up any room!

When we met Anna, she was sleeping in her crib located in the dining room. With a generous financial sponsorship from the SEFCU Foundation, and the labor and donations of supplies from Landmark Building & Design LLC, volunteers created Anna’s very first bedroom. Her new room is themed around her favorite children’s book “Miss Spider” and is adorned with ladybug and garden decor.

Anna's new room was painted, a handicap accessible doorway was constructed for easy access to the kitchen and bathroom, and a new window, lighting, and carpet were installed. Her room has new furniture, including a medical table to make her procedures more comfortable, a homemade quilt, a music and sound machine, new lighting, and a ceiling fan. The design also includes a place to organize all of Anna’s medical and feeding supplies.

Once the room was complete, family, friends, and volunteers gathered to celebrate. We have never seen Anna so enthusiastic and excited as she was when her mother wheeled her into her new room. It was unbelievable! She looked around, smiled, and was mesmerized by the room colors of yellow, red, white and black. Many close family and friends said that the new room was PERFECT for her, "it fit her to a tee!" Thank you so much to all of the volunteers that made a difference in the life of Anna and her family!
