Community Makeover

I strongly believe in giving back to the communities where we work and live.  Most recently, I've had the honor to participate with the non-profit organization Enchanted Makeovers and I wanted to share a little with you about the organization from the founder herself. The difference they make is truly amazing and we "Love That!"

"My name is Terry Grahl and I am the founder of Enchanted Makeovers, a 100% volunteer, not-for-profit organization based in Michigan whose mission is to transform shelters for women and children into places of peace and possibilities. This model is much more than a series of decorating projects; it is a movement to transform people rebuilding their lives as well as the lives of the volunteers and communities. We are blessed to be celebrating our 5 year anniversary in 2011 and very blessed by the national exposure and awards we have received including People Magazine, MLB, Martha Stewart, Woman's World, Ladies Home Journal and many more. We are excited about our next project which is with Alternative For Girls in Southwest Detroit a shelter for girls ages 15-21. You may have seen them on the NBC special about human trafficking in Detroit.

We have a number of wonderful projects and programs planned that will take place over the next 4-5 months for AFG. In addition to physically transforming the shelter into a whimsical cottage-like haven, there will be programs offered that teach the women and children life skills and coping skills."
