MIRACLE MAKEOVER REVEAL: Elijah & Isaiah Are Home At Last!

We have been creating makeovers for those in-need for nearly 25 years now. However, this project has been one of the most dramatic because of the health crisis that threatened Elijah's life during the makeover week.  Please watch the reveal video, comment and share. Design can truly change things......

Volunteer of The Week: Photographer Darla Peters

Darla Peters is one of our Design Gives Back volunteers with enormous talent and a caring heart. As a professional portrait photographer she brought great technical skill and on-site poise to the Daniel family project. A makeover for a family with a sick child can be very sensitive. It takes a compassionate, artistic soul to capture beauty, even in the midst of suffering. Darla did just that. And, the images provide proof of real, physical transformation in the lives of our recipients; see the Elijah Miracle Makeover video. For the work of Darla Peters, go here.
