“John John” is an energetic 5-year-old who wants to be a firefighter when he grows up. John was diagnosed with Stage 4 anaplastic ganglioglioma in 2013. This is an aggressive, malignant tumor in his brain. Last year, the doctors told his parents he had three to nine months to live. But John John is a fighter. He fights fires AND cancer!
On the weekend of March 28th, 2015, Corner Kingdoms united with Evesham Fire Rescue and BELFOR Restoration to build John's Dream Firefighter room. We raised almost $11,000 and over 50 volunteers showed up to make this project a huge success!

Hope and John are inseparable best friends.
Princess Hope Marandola
Hope is John Marandola's sister, best friend, and support system. When Evesham FD reached out to nominate John, they also requested that Hope get a mini-room-makeover as well. Volunteers and donors came together to give Hope a full Princess Dream Room which was created during the same Big Build Weekend Event.

Prince Max Gagnon
Max is the son of Corner Kingdom's founder Tiffany Blessing-Gagnon. This nursery was not funded by donations, but has become an "unofficial" Corner Kingdom. While in the process of completing Landyn and Shea's Safe Space project, Max was diagnosed with hypertonia -- a neurological disorder. He is also demonstrating other neurological issues.
While Tiffany did not design Max's nursery with the knowledge that her son would have special needs, the room design is coincidentally perfect for him. Max will be delayed in walking on his own, and the wall-length window bench will help him cruise the entire room when he gets older. The signs of inspiration saying "Be Brave Little One" and "Run Wild my Child" are also surprisingly perfect.
Queen Sophia's Dream Room
Sophia is a happy four-year-old in remission for HLH (hemophagocytic lymphoistiocytosis). This is a life-threatening condition causing the immune system to attack the body's tissue, organs, bone marrow, liver, and brain.
On November 19th, 2016 Sophia received a Dream Playroom!
