Dawn Gillespie
Founder of Room for a Child
Ms. Gillespie's Room for a Child creates beautiful bedrooms for children in need. A retired school principal, she has been helping children for the last 13 years. "I got bored quickly in retirement and missed the kids," she said. "I knew there were needs. Many kids live in challenging neighbourhoods." She receives referrals from social services, schools and refugee organizations and then meets with the children and their parents to see what furniture is needed and designs the room with the child in mind.
