I love my "volun job"! I get to meet amazing people and companies who care about helping our kids and their families. These two have been part of our Dbq Team for a very long time! They volunteer their time/services in the background of every makeover and I can't thank them enough! THANK YOU Dubuque Mattress Factory and Next Phase Electric and Maintenance for your help with Evelyn's makeover and all the kiddos before! ❤️
Thank you for being the BEST!

Say Hi to our beautiful new friend Evelyn!
She's a sweet and silly 5 year old little girl who loves the colors pink and purple, playing teacher, doing arts/crafts and her favorite characters are Lilo and Stitch.
Evelyn has had 2 years of treatment for leukemia, and we’re honored to create a dream bedroom just for her—a space filled with magic that only she can dream of.
This special makeover is made possible by our amazing friends at Northwestern Mutual Eastern Iowa. Stay tuned for the reveal next weekend!! 💗

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, and we’re celebrating the heart of Special Spaces—our incredible volunteers!
Their compassion, creativity, and dedication turn bedrooms into places where hope grows and healing feels possible. Every paint stroke, every build, every moment brings joy to a child battling cancer.
Help us honor these everyday heroes all month long. 💗

Happy New Year Friends! We had TWO incredibly generous donations to Special Spaces Dubuque as 2025 came to an end! We are so grateful for the support the community gives!

BIG Thank You to Bob Wardle, Van Meter of Dubuque and all the employees! Bob nominated Special Spaces and with the employees voting, Van Meter donated $10,000 to SS Dubuque!!
THANK YOU so much!!

Another BIG Thank you to Scott Goins - State Farm Insurance Agent for nominating and then winning the votes of 100+ Men Who Care: Tri-State Area for their 4th quarter! More to come on that after the next meeting in Feb, but it's a GREAT donation from a great group of men!
