Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo- Oakland Children's Hospital

Last weekend was a fun one for me.  I had the amazing volunteer opportunity to paint and spread some love at the same time. This opportunity came from a fantastic organization that will from now on be close to my heart Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo and another talented decorative painter and illustrator Melka Myers.  Melka designed this fun "Tropical Lagoon" private room and bathroom, which now resides at Children's Hospital Oakland.  Her diligent preparation of stencils and colors allowed us, with the help of a number of other volunteers (particularly Forest Aliya and Danielle Billingsley), to complete the process in only two days.
To give you a better scope of the project, the entire second floor of the Outpatient wing of Oakland Children's Hospital Hematology/Oncology department was shut down for the weekend for dozens of artists, designers, carpenters, and big hearted people of all walks of life to bring a little color, creativity, and cheer to this place of survival and healing.
Please take a moment to check out RTR4C and help them rock some more rooms in San Salvador.
