We are finally starting to finish up our room! Last week we got all the pictures hung up in the room. We also were able to put the bedding and pillows on the bed. We then put more decorations up around the room too. All that is left is to buy a floor lamp and get some more decorations to make it feel more welcoming.
The Dragon Apparel Drive raised around $330 for us to use for our project. We are using this money to purchase the ac unit, a desk, and other decorations for our room. We then need to paint the bed frame and the dresser white to match the room better. We still need to get a few things for the room like a desk, chair, mirror, ac unit, and more decorations for the room. Last Wednesday we brought all the materials for the room that we have so far to the Hope Center, like the bed frame, decorations, bedding, etc. We are now just trying to arrange everything in the room to make it feel like a warm and welcoming place. We pretty much have the layout that we want set up, but we still need to decorate and get everything put in place. This is what the room looks like so far.
We have been working with 1871 Apparel to come up with t-shirt ideas. We decided to go with Dragon t-shirts and started selling them at $15. We have been promoting the t-shirts by making posters and putting them in the hallway, putting it out on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. We are planning on only selling the t-shirts for 2 weeks so it would end ON Sunday. If more people want to buy t-shirts we will extend it longer.
Our website: https://1871apparel.com/pages/nphs-apparel-drive We are in the process of raising money for all the materials we need. We have created an amazon wish list and a lot of people have bought things from it. We still need to raise money for the more expensive things like the dresser, nightstand, decor for the walls, and desk. We plan to do this by making t-shirts. We are working with 1871 Apparel on the t-shirts. He has created several different dragon shirts for us to sell. We still need to finalize everything for the t-shirts first.
I am doing this project with Ethan Galster. We will be decorating a room for one of the women to live in at the Hope Center while they are there. Our project is to help create a safe space for women that have had to go through sex trafficking, sexual exploitation, and addiction. We want to give them a welcoming place to live. They deserve to have a spacious place to live while they are there. This project will include getting things for the room like a bed, dresser, night, decorations, etc. We will have to do this by fundraising and an amazon wish list to get the materials.
