Designer, Vanessa De Vargas has done just that with her most recent design charity for the Mary Magdalene Project. She was brought onto this project by Hartman House - a non profit company who rehabs homes in the US & in other countries.
Looking for local charities to help they reached out to the Mary Magdalene project, which is a safe home for women who are victims of sex trafficking in L.A.
The home needed a major redo - everything was OLD. Hartman House brought Vanessa in to do this project. She, along with Jordan Cappella, completed the decor in just 4 days! Several vendors came in with donations & this was the result of their work! I can imagine this put a SMILE on so many of the women's faces.
Great job, don't you think?

Wow, and in only 4 days!
That is such a touching story and a great cause. Everyone deserves a safe and beautiful place to live and rest their head at night so they can dream of a brighter future. Very inspiring.
I am a huge fan of Vanessa and the way she never hesitates to help the less fortunate. I had the honor of donating a few prints to her Women's shelter project. So inspired by all of you women :)
Beautiful job. There's a home here in Miami that will be fixed up soon to help women who have been hurt by the same thing. I hope I can help with the renovation.
This is one of those posts that just touches the soul. We should all take a leaf out of her book and look to help others. xxx
I'm so with you. Always nice to give back. It's especially important in this day and age. It's a beautiful space - so well done. I love it.
Thank you all for the wonderful comments and thank you Jen for posting the Mary Magdalene Charity Design Project on your blog. I really do appreciate it. I hope that you all can take a little time to donate or find projects like this where you live. You would be surprised how many facilitates there are and how many desperately need the help. Best to you all! ~Vanessa
