It takes a village! Cecily's Closet just completed its 50th - and 51st and 52nd Sweet Dream room makeovers for this amazing family.
Thank you to EVERYONE who took part in this extraordinary event. A special thank you to Project Lead and artist extraordinaire, Emily Dolton, for the countless hours of service she gave to make this triple room makeover possible! And to PaintGreen for once again stepping up to the plate to lay the beautiful backdrop for this transformation!
Check out Braden & Super Riley's new bedrooms as well as the new family play room, courtesy of Bassett Furniture.
Why the large firetruck? Braden is a BIG fan of first responder vehicles, perhaps due in no small part to his parents being accomplished nurses and heroes to the many families who rely on their care. Emily enlisted the help of Commander Teresa Miller of Balboa Naval Medical Hospital and Lt. Doug Miller of the San Marcos University Police Department to help build a police car bed from Emily’s sketches. Doug knocked it out of the park and was there in uniform to lead Braden in and egg hunt the day of the reveal. Emily drew upon the bedding images to create a vehicle mural which Braden loves. Madison and Kearney High School friends helped assemble and paint furniture for Braden’s room, making it a full community project!
Former Policeman Donald Hunter and Firefighters Mike Wells of the Plumas National Forest Crew and Brady Holden of SD provided patches for our first responder lampshade. Brady also brought in a fire truck on reveal day and Braden and the neighborhood kids took turns watering the lawn with their firehouse! Sharla Hank from Down Syndrome Action was able to secure Chopper the Biker Dog for an appearance as well! Bubble play and silliness ensued while visitors checked out the rooms and professional photographer, Andy McRory photographed the day!
We would like to additionally thank Sandra Bishop and Diane Niles of the SDRC, Missy and Tori Johnson of Rhapsody in Bloom, Amy McDaniel, Roxanne Constandse, Ranie Hunter, Robert Liwanag and Will Cotter for their friendship and contributions. Special heartfelt thanks to Nurse Julie and her husband who made the reveal day happen and to Commander Teresa Miller for arranging food and baking cookies for our guests! Wow! What a TEAM!!
