Heart 2 Home and Cancer Wellness
House
Home Makeover June 8-12
Who is
Cancer Wellness and what do they do?
They Support people living
with cancer and their families in a home-like setting.
Nearly every family
in the Salt Lake Valley is affected by cancer in one way or another. While
there are local healthcare providers ensuring quality cancer treatment, such as
chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, there continues to be an unmet need in
the continuum of care for holistic and integrative socio-emotional survivorship
and quality of life programming for the patient and their family. Cancer
Wellness House actively pursues filling this need in our community.
Cancer Wellness
House is 100% committed to ensuring that NO ONE faces cancer alone. And they do it all for free!!!
Who is
Heart 2 Home?
 |
| Kids Clubhouse |
We are a team of volunteers organizing local communities, businesses, and
sponsors, in gifting home renovations. No salaries are paid to officers or
staff - all donations go directly to promotion. We are a part of Heart 2 Home
not for any financial gain but simply to help within the community and to help
a group or individual who cannot help themselves. Heart 2 Home was started in 2004 with the
dream of making one families Christmas a little brighter in down town Salt
Lake. The first home was a complete renovation for a widowed mother with two
dependent adult children. Since that time, Heart 2 Home has done over 20 home
makeovers. Ranging from complete home
tear downs, bedroom makeovers, to creating wheel-chair accessible bathrooms.
Why the
Makeover on the Cancer Wellness House?
Because the work they do is so amazing!
Everyone is effected with cancer.
They either know someone who has it or have had it themselves. It is a problem and it sucks! The people at Cancer Wellness are looking for
solutions in coping, healing and surviving.
They do this out of two small historical homes in the avenues of Salt
Lake City.

What
Needs to Be Done?
Lots of stuff! The homes have been
in disrepair for years. Some of the
items we would like to fix are adding walls to separate therapy rooms, paint
and decorate massage and acupuncture rooms, convert the bathroom to ADA
compliance, remodel the Yoga and kids clubs, shape up the landscaping, electrical,
plumbing and heating, and much more.
What is
Our Plan?
Our plan like all Heart 2 Home projects is to get lots of people involved
and to do miracles! We are not asking
anyone to take on the whole project. If
you can’t build a wall or fix a toilet that is ok because we need you to paint
or landscape. When lots of people get
involved big things happen! The home has
been divided by rooms and areas. We are
asking families, businesses or individuals to take on projects and make it
better than when you began.
