Valley designers renovate rooms for women rebuilding their lives "Transforming rooms to transform lives. They are part of The Rescue Project, which addresses the unique needs faced by female victims of the growing human trafficking industry. Desert Star Construction, Arizona Foothills Magazine, and 10 of the Valley's top interior designers came together to invest $50,000 to $100,000 in renovations at the old Embassy Suites. Each designer was given a 400-square-foot un-inhabitable hotel room to transform. Launched in summer 2009, the dedicated organization provides a safe refuge, together with specialized counseling and education so that victims of human trafficking can recover, grow and become functioning members of society. Since it's inception, TRP has already helped more than 60 girls and women. One of the main obstacles The Rescue Project encounters is simply having enough beds available to house survivors of human trafficking. The Rescue Project wants to give survivors much more than just a safe place to sleep. Valley designers renovate rooms for women rebuilding their lives Trade News selected by Local Linkup on 09/05/2012
