Painting It Forward

Room transformation for a special needs child with Prader-Willi syndrome.
One of the greatest gifts you can give a child with special needs is your time and talent. If you would have asked me 6 months ago what Prader-Willi syndrome was, I honestly would not have known. In-fact I didn’t know what any special needs syndrome was a year ago, until God lead me on this new journey…
I started "# For Children" a nonprofit organization to benefit children with special needs. Our goal is to impact our community by creating artistic and colorful murals for children with disabilities and to touch the lives of children with special needs. This is Cameron's room before the transformation.
Cameron loves rainbows so this was a must. Wait until you see his reaction in the video. Priceless!
This was the other half of his room were we turned his wall into a beach scene with his favorite cartoon character.
Raphael of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is his favorite so we painted him surfing the Florida waves where he lives.
