Our Mission
About Us
At With Room To Grow, we believe that a room is more than just four walls—it’s a place where children should feel safe, seen, and supported. Our purpose is to create healing environments for children who are experiencing some of life’s most difficult challenges: trauma, foster care, homelessness, grief, mental health struggles, or the loss of stability due to divorce or major life transitions.
Every child deserves a space that reflects who they are and gives them a sense of belonging. A room can be a retreat, a launchpad for dreams, a reflection of identity—and for many of the children we serve, it’s the first time they’ve ever had a space that feels truly theirs.
We partner with families, social workers, shelters, and schools to identify children in need, and we transform their rooms with thoughtful, personalized design—bedroom makeovers that include everything from beds and bedding to color, furniture, décor, and small touches that bring joy and comfort. Each space is tailored to the child’s interests, personality, and emotional needs.
Our mission is rooted in love, hope, and dignity. We know that while we can't change everything a child has gone through, we can change the way they feel when they walk through the door. And sometimes, that’s where the healing begins.
Our vision is a world where every child, regardless of their circumstances, has a safe and inspiring space to call their own, a room that reflects who they are, supports their healing, and reminds them that they are deeply valued. Through thoughtful design and compassionate care, we aim to create environments where hope can grow, happiness can return, and every child can dream.
Our Vision
Scientific research consistently shows that a child’s bedroom environment directly impacts their mental health, emotional well-being, and development. Poor sleep quality is one of the strongest predictors of anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges in children. Factors such as clutter, noise, lighting, and screen exposure in the bedroom all play significant roles in shaping sleep and emotional regulation.
Bedrooms are not just places to sleep; they are powerful FACTORS of a child’s emotional resilience, sense of safety, and long-term mental health. Transforming a bedroom into a nurturing, calming, and personalized space is a science-backed intervention that can change a child’s life trajectory
Bedrooms and Mental Health
Disturbances in the sleep environment are linked to anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation. Improving the bedroom setting improves both sleep and behavior.
SLEEP QUALITY
clutter & stress
Research shows that chaotic, cluttered home environments increase cortisol levels in children, leading to heightened stress, difficulty concentrating, and reduced creativity.
light & color
Natural light exposure supports healthy circadian rhythms and reduces depression risk. Meanwhile, calming colors and predictable surroundings foster emotional security.
