“This story will always have a special place in our hearts,” Joanna writes in an Instagram post, saying she is “so proud of this community of women.”
The 3,900-square-foot space has seven bedrooms, three full bathrooms and three half bathrooms, Insider reports. The renovation was an extended family affair—with the helping hands of Joanna’s sister Jenny, who volunteers at the shelter; Barbara, who runs the shelter and Trasha, a former resident of the shelter who now works there.
Barbara said the mission of the shelter is to “give each girl a chance to succeed.”
The full renovation, photos of which can be viewed on the Magnolia Network blog, allows the girls fleeing from often dangerous situations to feel at home in their temporary residence. The Gaineses say they put a lot of thought into “finding ways to make this facility feel safe” for the residents and to “serve as a haven.”
