On Saturday, Oct. 31, Special Spaces Nebraska partnered with Wayne America, Inc. and Wayne State College to complete a one-day dream bedroom makeover for Elladee, a 12-year-old who has battled cancer over the last year.
Elladee was diagnosed with AML Leukemia in July of 2025. She and her family were interviewed by the Special Spaces team on Sept. 11 to help guide the design process.
The final design plans remained a surprise until the reveal.
The project brought together more than 20 volunteers contributing over 200 hours of service, along with significant in-kind donations from local businesses and community partners.
Wayne America, Inc. and Wayne State College played a significant role in connecting students, businesses and volunteers for the event. WSC Athletics also provided an amazing experience for the family on Oct. 31.
The end result of the day was a complete makeover of Elladee's bedroom and refreshing of the bedrooms of her siblings.
Elladee’s makeover will serve as the model for rural expansion.
