What an amazing week for Yellow Door Outreach! We have really enjoyed this project for a very deserving family.
The reaction from mom was everything we hoped for, but what really got us were the kids reactions!
These sweet kids were over the moon with excitement and appreciation. We are reminded that it’s all in the details when a little girl is so excited that they now have seasonings and comments on how fancy it is that they have coasters!

Mom said that this was something she could never have done for her kids and they finally have nice things that are theirs.

We love being intentional about each kid and what their interests are so that we can create a custom space just for them.

The challenge with this project was putting 2 kids in each room but we feel like we met the challenge in fun and unique ways. Mom was clear from the beginning that she wanted the smallest room and to give her kids the two larger rooms.
We wanted to make her space super special and give her a place to disconnect and recharge. This is the first time she has had a bed in 7 years!! As many moms do, she sacrificed for her kids and slept on the sofa and had no space of her own.

One of our favorite parts was getting to make an outdoor space for the family to enjoy together. This was the first time they had a yard of their own. We cleaned up the landscaping, power washed all the outdoor areas, added flowers, furniture, lighting and even a brand new grill!!

We are so thankful to each of you for any part you played! A very special thank you to Cashed Out Homes for the custom headboards for the boys room, the feature wall piece in the loft bedroom, the grill and all the extra labor to get this project done.

Please like and share to help us promote Yellow Door Outreach 💛

Yellow Door Outreach is excited to start a new project next week. This hardworking mom of 4 works and goes to school. She is focused on bettering her life for her children and herself. We love her drive and can’t wait to give her a home that brings her joy and peace.

She and her children have been living in a 2 bedroom apartment and are moving into a 3 bedroom house. They don’t have enough furniture to fill their new home and the kids have been sharing beds. We will be able to give each child their own bed and create a space with their personalities in mind.

…

We are still in need of some items to pull this off Yellow Door style.
We would like to create a great outdoor space for this sweet family to enjoy by planting flowers, hanging outdoor lights, etc..
Lastly, we would like to paint the interior of the home. The current color is dated and really could use freshening.

How can you help?

-purchase items on the amazon wish list or similar items
- donate gently loved needed items
- give financially towards the project
- cover us in prayer
- like and share our post so we can reach more people

Each gift gets us closer to our goal and every dollar counts. Thank you for your support and prayers.

We had the opportunity to bless a hardworking mom of two with a complete “While you were out” this week. Her reaction made all the hard work totally worth it!

She works full time and is on the hunt for a second job because she barley makes it each month. To furnish her new place seemed impossible for her.
We believe your environment can determine your overall sense of worth and emotional health. One of the comments she made to us was, “I won’t feel depressed here anymore”.
That means the world to us and confirms our mission.
The next day she sent a sent text telling us how she couldn’t wait to get home from work and it had been a long time since she had felt comfortable and happy at home. This is our goal!!

The part our donors play in this is everything! We can’t do this for these families without your support. We are run 100% by volunteers who selflessly give their time to make Yellow Door Outreach keep going. We are so thankful for each of them.

There are many ways to be a part of Yellow Door and be apart of something that blesses others in a unique way. We are in desperate need of people who will pledge to give monthly no matter how big or small the commitment is. We are always in need of furniture and household items and financial giving towards projects.

We have a project coming up at the end of the month and will be posting needed items. Please share and like our posts to help us reach more people who may be able to help.

Yellow Door Outreach has an opportunity to do a project quickly for a mom and her two kids next week.
She works full-time and only makes enough to cover her bills and nothing else. She is currently looking for a second job to be able to help with the extras.
Sadly, she was forced to move because their environment where she was renting was infested with roaches, cracks in the floors, etc…. and the landlord wouldn’t fix the issues.
She was able to get into another place but had to leave most of her belongings behind.
She will not be able to furnish her home for a long time because there is no extra money at the end of the month.
We will be able to furnish most of the home with items we have in storage but we would love to be able to stock her fridge and pantry, give her kids some toys, and purchase the things we do not have.
If you are able to contribute to this project, we would greatly appreciate it.

Needed items for kids-

Boy 3 years old-
Paw patrol toys
Dinosaur toys
Books in great condition
Toy bin (white or grey)
Small play tent

Girl 7 years old-
Unicorn toys
Art supplies
LOL toys and dolls
Books in great condition
Small white desk and chair

Household items-
Pots and pans
Silverware
Toaster
Plastic cups and plates
Baking sheet
Cooking utensils
Floor lamp
Table lamp

Please message us if younahbe any of these items available for donation 💛

Yellow Door Outreach will be starting our new project very soon. There has been a small delay with rental home being ready for the family to move. The owners had to replace the windows for windstorm approval.
We want to be ready to go as soon as all the inspections are complete and get this family moved in to their new space!

Please consider donating or purchasing needed items to complete the project. We are including the amazon wish list that we created but it is simply a guide to help you know what exactly is needed.
Feel free to purchase similar items at other retailers, donate gently loved items or donate funds for us to do the leg work.

Thank you for your support and we can’t wait to bless this family 💛

We love the way this project turned out. This sweet mom experienced something no parent should ever have to, the loss of a child. The pain of that is unimaginable.

We were able to take a space that held memories of loss and devastation, and create a space to make new memories. While honoring the memory of her son, we wanted to give her a fresh start as she welcomes her daughter into the world in two weeks.

We are thankful for the opportunity to help these moms love their homes and give them a place to feel inspired and proud of.
Thank you for your donations, prayers and ongoing support of Yellow Door Outreach. 💛

Next week, Yellow Door Outreach begins a new project for an amazing single mom of 4, who works for a non-profit and goes to school! We love her drive to build a better life for her family.

We want to go over the top to show this mom how worthy she is of BIG blessings for all the sacrifices she makes to provide for her family.
They are currently in a 2 bedroom apartment with hand me down furniture and kids sharing beds. They are so excited to get to move into a 3 bedroom home where each child will have their own bed. They don’t have enough furniture to fill their new home and we would love to replace the old things with new or gently loved items. We want her home to reflect her style and to be a place she is proud of. We believe the space you live in should be a place that inspires you and gives you life.

We absolutely love her taste and can’t wait to get started with this fun and colorful Art Deco style project. We have been collecting items for a few weeks and have some items still needed to furnish this home in Yellow Door style!

We have compiled an amazon wish list of items we would love to have to complete the project. This is simply a guide to show what is needed and the style of the project. If you have any of these items or if you see similar items while you are out and about that would work and purchase them, we are happy to pick up. Also, if you are a person who loves to find treasure on FB marketplace, that’s a great place to shop for YD project items.

We ask that all used items be in great condition. We want our YD families to be proud of their home and everything in it.

If you would like to contribute financially, every little bit is SO helpful to us!! We will use any funds that are donated 100% towards this project. We do not have any paid positions and our only overhead is our storage units so we use all donations strictly for YD projects.

Please pray about helping us make this project our best yet by donating, ordering needed items and praying over the project and everyone involved.
