About us

Room Redux – Sacramento

Our Mission

Welcome to Room Redux Sacramento, where healing and transformation go hand in hand. We are compassionately dedicated to encouraging healing and improving the lives of children who have faced abuse, through room transformation. Often, abuse occurs in a child’s own room. This can link the room to feelings of fear and aversion, causing the child to avoid it entirely. We give children transformed rooms in which they can feel comfortable and safe. We include coping tools such as journals, stuffed animals, and art supplies to further support the mental health and healing of our recipients.

Testimonials

“I cannot say enough about how much Room Redux Sacramento did for our family.  Our teenage daughter was assaulted by a trusted mentor who left memories all over her room.  After the assault, she didn’t sleep in her bedroom for 6 months because it was too painful.  Room Redux Sacramento came in and transformed her bedroom into an oasis – bright and happy with all the things she loves.  Room Redux did not just transform our daughter’s room, they gave her life back.  What they did brought back her peace of mind.  She has a space for her heart to breathe again.  There are not enough words to describe how grateful we are and ‘thank you’ is not enough, but — you changed our lives – so Thank you!”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! The children still cannot believe it! They did not want to go to sleep the first night in their new room… because they were afraid that it was all a dream and were worried that when they woke up, their old room would be back. But they did and they woke up so happy. You have made changes in our hearts. My children are so happy. My daughter especially has not been happy like this in a very long time. Thank you for everything!”

“Room Redux (Sacramento) made a HUGE impact on my client’s mental health, as she has been having nightmares and struggling with sleep due to trauma. I recently completed a visualization activity with the client, of her safe place and she visualized a beautiful room with a loft bed just like the one she got! She now gets to have this dream of safety, be her reality. She can have her own space to draw, and do school work under her bunk at her desk and be comforted by her bean bag, and books all included. The Room Redux Sacramento team even got a new home and decorations for her beloved guinea pig. The team went above and beyond to add personal touches that were personal to my client’s needs to ensure her happiness and to promote her healing. You created a safe haven, a true sanctuary of her bedroom. Thank you so much for all you have done. You all make a real difference in the live of children and families.”

“Room Redux (Sacramento) did an outstanding job, I knew I was connecting with the right organization during our first interaction. I have witnessed a huge positive impact on my client’s healing and mental health after she received a surprise room transformation. Room Redux took into consideration my client’s hobbies and interests. My client loved how her room turned out and mentioned how different it feels in a positive manner. She enjoys being in her room now as it brings her peace and calmness. After the trauma that one goes through, a positive impact like this helps one heal. I have witnessed my client more motivated to heal and focus on her hobbies, thank you Room Redux for having an organization that helps many families during hardships. My client is continuing her healing process with the equipment that was provided such as workout guides, journals, and books that help her mental health. “

“Thank you so much for the restoration of both my children’s bedrooms. After a brief interview with the Smiths’, a very dedicated and loving couple, who are sensitive to the emotional, mental and physical well-being of abused children. They took pictures of the bedrooms, measurements, and asked pertinent questions. As I waited for the day of restoration that had been set, the Smiths’ provided our Thanksgiving feast, and clothing for my young son. On the day of restoration, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. The Smiths’ even provided lunch for us and kept me updated on progress via text. When it was time to go home, and reveal this wonderful surprise to my two children, we all were absolutely amazed, are home was completely new! The attention to detail, the likes and interests of the individual child, the personalized items, the inspirational messages, therapeutic toys, thoughtfulness of each item placed, and the safe installation of electronics, furniture, and wall hangings. The children are so happy, in awe, and amazed that there are individuals out there that care about them so very much. Room Redux Sacramento went above and beyond any of my expectations’. They provided a Christmas tree with dozens of gifts for the children, a work office space for my future goals, and so many extras! I can truly testify that within two weeks after restoration my daughter’s negative behaviors are subsiding, both children are doing better in school, better in therapy, playing more, loving more, and daring to dream big! Room Redux, as a single mother who could not have facilitated on her own, such a child friendly, safe and saving healing place for children, who desperately needed some to care, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart! The Smiths’ are truly blessed, and they will remain in our prayers always.”

Wow, thank you so much! I am speechless to say the least. This family participated in trauma treatment due to the complex situation that they experienced. We continued to struggle due to trauma reminders being present in the home. Room Redux (Sacrament0) changed this family life and is letting them start a new chapter in their life. I am very grateful for having an amazing community organization such as this one. You truly change lives!
