Suite Dreams Project

Three years ago, working mothers Kay Ponicall and Kris Appleby of Detroit launched the Suite Dreams Project to create fantasy bedrooms for sick children.

"Imagine being a child who has to spend 18 hours a day alone in a bed recovering from a major surgery. Painting their room with a mural of spaceships or their favorite cartoon characters might perk up their spirits and relieve some of the stress of recovery."
