Using community donations, interior designers and nonprofit will custom design space in Chula Vista for single mom, 4 boys
That’s how a single mom of four describes the voluntary makeover of their Chula Vista apartment, courtesy of Humble Design and ASIDIn preparation for this sponsored “Day of Service,” ASID mounted a campaign this summer to collect new and gently used furniture and accessories, with drop-off points across San Diego County. Area residents responded with an outpouring of donations, and hundreds of items were collected.
The project dovetails with the mission of Humble Design, which serves families, veterans and individuals transitioning out of homelessness by providing professional design services using donated home furnishings. The organization, founded in 2009 in Detroit and now operating in five U.S. cities, transforms empty houses and apartments into clean, dignified and welcoming homes.
“This is DIY design at its finest. We’re focusing the skills we usually apply to well-to-do clients on a family emerging from homelessness. It is an extremely gratifying experience, especially considering that most Humble Design clients have only a few bags of personal belongings and many are sleeping on the floor.”“As we became aware of Humble Design’s mission, we knew that there was robust synergy between our two nonprofit organizations,” Rice said.
