Special Needs Christmas Bathroom Gift

Help make this family's Christmas one to remember!
Single Grandmother Raising Autistic Children and Autistic Grandchildren Gets the Gift of a Colorful Bathroom Makeover because of Instagram. Here is a bit of the back story on how all this came about.
Angie Massa is literally Whyte & Company’s biggest fan, a small startup company out of Dallas, TX. A woman who loves pink, Angie takes time out of her busy day to shower love on every colorful sink they post on Instagram. For over a year, Angie’s kind words and enthusiasm for her products lifted up Kim Vance, CEO of Whyte. On a particularly rough day for Kim, she turned to Instagram just to scroll through her feed and was completely inspired by some words of encouragement that Angie had posted. Kim right then and there decided Angie needed a pink sink.
In chatting with Angie over Instagram, Kim discovered that she and Angie had something in common: they were both single moms raising autistic children. However, Angie was not only raising her adult children with autism but her autistic grandchildren as well. Kim knew that getting the sink wouldn’t be enough. Funds are tight and the sink needed a counter, a faucet and a person to install them. Angie’s small bathroom was the primary bath to the entire family, so making it a place that brought her and her children joy became a huge labor of love.
So Whyte is partnering with the amazing design team of Darla Powell Interiors in Miami as well as other local and national businesses to give Angie’s family not only a new sink, but a full bathroom makeover to make caring for her children and grandchildren easier in a handicap accessible space. The project is well underway with a start date of December 17th and a reveal date of December 20th. Between Whyte and Darla Powell Interiors we have been able to secure the main items need to redo the bathroom. Any funds left over will be presented to Angie to help with the care of her children and grandchildren. We are asking for donations to help with the funding of this amazing project.
