Dream Room Makeovers, Inc., the organization which did a full home makeover in November 2011, for the family that had 2 children with Spinal Muscular Atrophy in Union NJ, is at it again.

Saturday, March 24, 2011 Dream Room Makeovers will be remodeling the home of Kim Nelson and her family in Mahwah NJ.  Kim, a single mother, and her daughters: Mary (9) and Sophia (8).  Mary was born with a neurological disorder called Neurofibromatosis (NF). NF is a genetic and progressive disorder that disrupts cell growth in the nervous system, causing tumors to form on nerve tissue. These tumors can occur anywhere in the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and large and small nerves. Mary has developed an optic glioma (tumor on her optic nerves) as a result of her NF. It has severely impacted her vision. She has been undergoing chemotherapy since February of 2010 in attempt to shrink the tumor. She will never regain full sight back, even if the tumor shrinks.

Dream Room Makeovers, Inc. is an organization that helps families with children that have Life-Challenging illnesses or disabilities. Dream Room Makeovers will give the child the bedroom of their dreams and more. The real challenge we have is that we do these makeovers in 1 day. All makeovers are done by donations and volunteers.
