Designing Dreams
Transforming the bedrooms of children fighting cancer, creating joyful, personalized spaces where they can rest, heal, and feel like kids again. ♥
Our Mission
Designing Dreams transforms the bedrooms of children actively fighting cancer, creating joyful, personalized spaces where they can rest, heal, and just be kids. We work closely with hospital child life specialists and social workers, experts who know their patients best, to identify children who would benefit from extra comfort and care at home. Whether a child is facing extended time in isolation, mobility challenges, relapse, or financial hardship, these trusted hospital partners help us reach those who need a healing space the most. Every room is designed by a professional interior designer and is a reflection of that child’s personality, interests, and strength, offering a space of peace, play, and possibility during a difficult time.
Nataleigh's Dream Bedroom
Help Make Nataleigh's Dream Room Come True with her Amazon Wish List!
At just nine years old, Nataleigh has faced challenges far beyond her years. Diagnosed with leukemia in May 2023, she has endured weeks of hospital visits, treatments, and exhaustion. Before doctors discovered what was wrong, Nataleigh spent three weekends in a row in the emergency room with persistent fevers. Each time, she was sent home with a diagnosis of a virus or strep throat. But her grandmother, who is raising her alongside her four siblings—including her twin brother—refused to leave the hospital until they ran more tests. That decision may have saved Nataleigh’s life. The results were devastating: her hemoglobin levels had dropped to just 3 (when they should have been 12). Without hesitation, doctors rushed her to Rady Children’s Hospital, where she immediately received a blood transfusion.
