(WXYZ) — Terry Grahl started Enchanted Makeovers over 10 years ago out of her home to transform the lives of women and shelters by transforming the space they are living in.
She wanted to give them a bright, beautiful, inviting and safe place to sleep where they can heal and know that they are valued just by looking at the love put into the decor.
She started a program called “Sacred Sewing” and began building sewing rooms inside women shelters across the country. She believes that handmade is healing and that the act of sewing – both learning a skill and creating something beautiful in the midst of pain – can help empower women in shelters.
After many national recognition and years of operating out of her home, with the help of volunteers and donors, Grahl restored a vacant house in Taylor and transformed into an office and national headquarters to expand the work of Enchanted Makeovers.
After painstaking work and incredibly thought out detail to create a place that people will want to come and stay. Thieves stole the two air conditioning units, making Grahl wonder if the new HQ would be able to be used in the heat of the summer.
She mentioned that theft briefly during an interview on WXYZ, and the owners of Mulligan Heating heard. They called our newsroom and said they wanted to help.
Jason Mulligan and Ed Rhue own Mulligan Heating Inc. in White Lake. They’ve been in business 64 years and didn’t hesitate to step up when they heard about what Grahl is doing to make a difference in the lives of women in need.
Terry Grahl called Jason and Ed her angels and an answer to her prayers.
“God is good,” says Grahl. “I’m about to cry.”
