Design Stars helps a paraplegic

This was a very special project for Design Stars. Last November, Leah was hit by a car and almost lost her life. Waking up two months later, she now had to adjust to life without the use of her legs. Not only did Design Stars get to renovate a bedroom space but we were able to provide hope for Leah as she adjusts to her new life as a paraplegic. It was an honor to do this for her and you can tell by her reaction that she was quite moved.
Besides the decorations, her lights have been fully automated with remote, an intercom system was installed, and a brand new closet system was put in t accommodate her new needs. Way to go Design Stars team!

Thank you so much for helping Leah. I have known her a long time, but have lived in another state for almost 30 years. I grew up around her and her family. Sue sent me this video to show how much you have helped Leah. I just want to say God Bless and it is truly great to know there really are people that are willing to care about one another. I will spread the message. Thank you again.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Dear Design Stars,
I want to thank you all for venturing out of the OC and coming to Covina to help my friend. Leah’s spirit and attitude when she wakes up each morning is now one of hope. Her beautiful room has warmed her heart with the feeling of love from so many that didn’t even know her. Leah now smiles anticipating when she can get back out in the world and meet more people that will love and accept her for the way she is.
You all did a fantastic job with Leah’s bedroom and we all had so much fun while you were there. Your team is wonderful and you worked so well together. What they accomplished in just one day was just amazing. I also want to thank all the generous donors who made this project possible.
With much appreciation,
Sue A. Savarase (Friend)
