“The damage and invisible scars of emotional abuse are very difficult to heal, because memories are imprinted on our minds and hearts and it takes time to be restored. Imprints of past traumas do not mean a person cannot change their future beliefs and behaviors. as people, we do not easily forget. However, as we heal, grieve, and let go, we become clear-minded and focused to live restore and emotionally healthy.”
― Dee Brown, Breaking Passive-Aggressive Cycles

People who struggle with trauma knows the challenges each day brings. It can come from a variety of incidents, from injuries to personal attacks to experiencing racism, dealing with trauma can lead to devastating, even fatal effects, if not treated. Fortunately, there are several organizations who are helping trauma survivors, and the Oasis Alliance is one of them.

According to their website, http://theoasisalliance.org, The Oasis Alliance is an organization that brightens the lives of trauma survivors by curating beautiful personalized interior spaces that encourage and accelerate recovery, growth, and wellbeing. They utilize donated furniture, décor, and essential household goods to create spaces that really feel like home. The Oasis Alliance utilizes volunteer artists, therapists, designers, movers, and installers to accomplish this mission.

Currently they are teaming up with Hearts of Empowerment in a campaign called the Oasis Space Makeover campaign. The purpose is to improve the lives of trauma survivors through interior design. The money raised from this campaign will fund the transformation of the homes of trauma survivors. These transformations will provide them a positive, healthy environment while helping them overcome the vast challenges they have encountered. All unused funds will be donated to the Oasis Alliance so that they continue to change the homes and lives of trauma survivors.
