where design transforms healing

Rebuilding interior spaces for children and families facing a medical crisis to strengthen and encourage recovery

OUR MISSION

Savvy Giving by Design™ is a non-profit, national network of professional interior designers whose mission is to provide comfort, support, and healing to families with a child facing a medical crisis by transforming the interior spaces of their homes at no cost to them.

WE'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR
MOST RECENT RECIPIENT, OLIVIA.

Olivia_new recipient.jpg

This courageous 13-year-old is living with Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 9—a rare neurological condition that impacts her mobility, vision, and respiratory health.

 

Despite the challenges of multiple surgeries, daily treatments, and using a wheelchair, Olivia’s spirit shines bright—she’s truly the strongest (and cutest!) superhero around.

We’re honored to create a healing space tailored to her unique needs, so she can continue her journey with comfort and joy.

how rooms inspire healing

Providing recovering children with a positive, stress-free home environment can make an incredible difference in their healing journey. According to long-established studies, access to a comforting space contributes to up to 30% of the healing process. (Robert Ulrich, Journal Science, 1984)

By supporting new room transformations, you’re giving children a space to just “be”, away from the demands of treatment, supporting them as they navigate their new lives both mentally and physically. Watch our video to see how our room makeovers have impacted the healing of our Savvy Giving recipients.
