Annalise,

You were getting sick every few days. When you did, one of us would sleep by your side. However, your room was only big enough for a twin bed. This left you sharing mommy and daddy’s bed, and that meant someone on the couch (usually me). After a few nights of this, we knew we had to move you into the bigger room, your little brother’s room. Since you’re also a huge fan of the show, GET OUT OF MY ROOM! we wanted to give you your own bedroom makeover moment. Making this happen would take time, money and energy – all of which we can’t spare. With about one week before Christmas, we needed some major help to pull this off. So we reached out to your #PandaPower army for help in granting you this wish. Sure enough, a tidal wave of love and support came our way. Among them was one of my high school friends, Mr. Lamborne and his partners at TriCounty Development Group, who stepped in to make your sea green & panda-filled dream room a reality! Meanwhile, we received gifts of bedding and decorations from friends, some of which came anonymously. Family and friends pitched in to decorate and furnish your new room while converting your old room into one your brother would love too. It was an amazing this to see it all happen in 5 days, and just in time for Christmas!
