A Safe Landing
Life was good for the Jackson family until neighborhood violence forced them to make a quick getaway from their jobs and their home, leaving most of their belongings behind. Thanks to their hard work and the incredible support of City of Refuge, they are now settled in Atlanta with the two boys in school, Mom & Dad working and even a family business plan evolving. As just one piece of the puzzle to help them pull their lives back together, the Furnish with Love team created this home where they can fuel their passions – cooking, basketball, drawing, Star Wars, reading and family time.
On A New Path
A warm home can help the daily struggle of battling addiction. This mom and teenage son are thrilled to be in their own apartment and each have their own bedroom for the first time in years. They were nominated by Mary Hall Freedom Village in Sandy Springs. Our volunteer designers created a soothing atmosphere in the living area and provided room for her grown kids and grandkids to come for dinner, something Mom particularly enjoys. A wonderful donated rug inspired the son’s black and purple bedroom – and it was a huge hit!
Special thanks to volunteer designers Nobuko Masuda and Andrea Finger for a beautiful project.

Home At Last
After years apart from her kids and family, this tenacious mom has built a new start for all in a sweet house in Forest Park. She was nominated for a family project by Living on Purpose ATL where she now works to help people like herself who have recently been released from prison. Mom and her two kids are delighted to have a fully furnished home including some things they really wished for – a dining table for Mom, a platform bed for the son, and unicorns and butterflies for the daughter (and their two new kitties)!
Special thanks to volunteer designer Janie Wilburn of The Jane Group and her wonderful team.
