ST. LOUIS, MO – Through their giveback initiative, Closets for a Cause, Saint Louis Closet Co. has donated $3,988 of their October profits to Special Spaces. This nonprofit completes dream bedroom makeovers for dependent children, ages 2-19, battling cancer or within one year of treatment. They focus on transforming a child’s bedroom because it’s where they sleep, rest, play, and spend time away from the challenges of their illness. 

The donation went directly to the St. Louis chapter for room makeovers. “Our bedrooms are designed around the child’s wishes and dreams of what they want in their special space,” says Keelyn Schwegel and Teresa Hutton, Co-Directors of Special Spaces St. Louis. “Through our partnership with Saint Louis Closet Co., we will be able to provide more dream bedrooms to children battling cancer in St. Louis and surrounding counties.”

Serving the St. Louis area since 2011, Special Spaces aims to complete between six and ten bedroom makeovers each year. August 20, 2022, marked the completion of their 60th dream bedroom makeover.

 

A dream bedroom makeover entails Special Spaces working from floor to ceiling. They update flooring, closets, trim, and lighting and replace furniture, bedding, and décor. 

When asked what the most gratifying aspect of their work is, Special Spaces replied, “Seeing their [the children] faces when they walk into their new bedroom for the first time is the most gratifying experience.”
