Restored Refuge Designs : April 2022
Restored Refuge Designs exists to bring a sense of home to those emerging from homelessness into stability. Using new and donated goods, they offer families hope for tomorrow by furnishing their homes with warmth, functionality, and beauty. They have been working mainly with the YWCA to help women and children who have left difficult situations, and find themselves in a new place often with only the clothes on their backs.
Since their first move in November 2021, they have been able to set up 8 homes for women and their combined 19 children! This has involved providing beds, dressers, kitchen items, kitchen tables, living room furniture, and all of the decor as well as putting it all together in a way that makes their new house feel like a home. By providing a safe and secure environment for these families, Restored Refuge’s hope and prayer is that it allows the families to focus on their recovery, and on healing together as a family.
Restored Refuge Designs plans to use the funds from this month to purchase new bed pillows, kitchen and bath towels, as well as couch covers. These are things they use with every move, and they like to provide these as new items for their clients.
We ended the month of April with 494 donors which translates into $494 for Restored Refuge Designs! The girls shared that they planned on cashing the check after we left, and then heading to Target to stock up on new pillows and kitchen towels for their upcoming moves!
