In this powerful episode of All Volunteer All Heart from Binky Patrol, host Susan Finch sits down with Susie Vybiral, founder of Room Redux, an incredible organization that transforms the living spaces of children who have faced sexual abuse, physical abuse, and violent crimes.
Through the Mr. Ballen Foundation connection, Susan discovered this perfect partnership between two organizations dedicated to showing vulnerable children they are loved, valued, and supported. Room Redux has transformed 365 rooms across the nation in just six years, creating safe sanctuaries where children can heal and thrive.
Join us as Susie shares the heart behind Room Redux's mission, the collaborative approach that makes their work possible, and how they're changing lives one room at a time - all done anonymously and completed in a single day.
About Susie Vybiral
I have always had a heart for children and have believed they should have the best childhood experience possible. While I was a family advocate at a children’s advocacy center, I learned that although children who have faced sexual and physical abuse often receive therapy, they continue to be afraid or feel unsafe in their bedrooms. I started Room Redux in order to remove triggers in children’s rooms and completely transform their environment. By painting the room, providing new furniture, decor, and lighting, and even changing the positioning of the bed, children feel safe and cared about in their new sanctuary.
