Mission Statement
The Oasis Alliance (OA) brightens the lives of people dealing with difficult life circumstances by designing personalized spaces that encourage and accelerate recovery, growth, and mental well-being.
Description
The Oasis Alliance utilizes volunteer artists, therapists, designers, movers, installers and client sweat equity to accomplish the mission. We believe that interior design is an underutilized tool to empower, encourage and resurrect people at their lowest point. When we live in personalized spaces that affirm our humanity, we feel important-a major first step in moving past trauma and loss. We utilize donated furniture, décor and essential household goods to create spaces that really feel like home.
