Deposit boy gets bedroom makeover thanks to A Room to Heal
DEPOSIT, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A 3-year-old boy from Deposit has a new space to heal, play, and let loose as he receives the bedroom of a lifetime.
Maverick Meskl is a bubbly, busy, and happy boy who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in his optic nerve pathway. He underwent 15 months of chemotherapy, finishing in June of last year.
To help Maverick feel at home, safe, and comfortable during his healing process, A Room to Heal recently upgraded his bedroom into a safari-themed healing space.
The room is based on Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, Maverick's favorite place. It includes a new canopy bed, new decorations, toys, books, furniture, and more.
Samantha Meskl, Maverick's Mom, says the new space will allow her son to express himself and focus on being a kid.
'It was such a light. It seemed like it was just so much bigger and just a new space for him to become a kid. It's great. It was moving for all of us,' said Meskl.
Volunteers from A Room to Heal set up Maverick's new bedroom while he was away on a weeklong trip to Disney World, thanks to Make-A-Wish of Hudson Valley.
The overall value of the project was around $5,000. Materials were donated by National Floor Center, Brushes over Broome, and Steve's Paint and Blinds.
