Melody's magic wish
Melody, 11, wished to have a bedroom makeover to create a calming space for her to relax after treatments. Melody is super creative and has lots of ideas for her new room. She even created a mood board with her vision to send to us!
The style she envisioned was “Danish Pastel,” Melody and her siblings spent hours together researching inspiration and putting together a presentation for Make-A-Wish. It was a welcome distraction from her illness and empowered her brothers and sisters by giving them a way to help her.
Melody’s mum, Tania, said: “It filled my heart to see her face light up with surprise and delight when she walked into her new room for the first time...... I can’t even express how thankful we are. There are so many quality things in that room that we’re not used to."
