Our staff members, Rosie and Sheri, embarked on an exciting mission to spread awareness about the "Healthier Homes for Children" program, a remarkable collaboration between our organization and the esteemed Children's Board of Hillsborough County. The stage was set at the vibrant and bustling Glazer Children's Museum, where they eagerly connected with parents and families, sharing valuable insights on how to create safer and healthier living environments for their little ones.

With warm smiles and an approachable demeanor, they set out to engage parents in meaningful conversations about the importance of a healthy home environment for children's overall well-being.


Displaying informative brochures and visually appealing presentations, Rosie and Sheri left no stone unturned in detailing the various aspects of the Healthier Homes for Children program. RTTB and Children’s Board of Hillsborough County have collaborated on this program that focuses on implementing the most impactful repairs to create a safe and healthy home environment for asthmatic/allergy-suffering children. Some of the most impactful repairs and services include:

  • Weatherization (Windows & doors)

  • Pest Control / Termite Remediation

  • Lead Paint Testing

  • Mold Remediation

  • Air Duct Cleaning /Repair

  • Carpet Cleaning / Hard Surface Flooring Sanitizing

As parents and children strolled through the museum, Rosie and Sheri caught the attention of many curious visitors. They welcomed questions with open arms, addressing concerns and offering tailored suggestions to suit each family's unique needs. The duo's dedication to the cause was evident in their genuine interest in every individual they interacted with.

The Glazer Children's Museum served as a fantastic backdrop for this event, as its fun-filled exhibits and educational activities highlighted the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. Rosie and Sheri seamlessly integrated the principles of the Healthier Homes for Children program into the museum's themes, reinforcing the message that a child's development is deeply influenced by their surroundings.


As the day progressed, Rosie and Sheri were heartened to witness the growing interest among parents to participate in the program. Families eagerly signed up to receive further information and be a part of this transformative initiative. Seeing the positive impact they were making on the community filled Rosie and Sheri with a sense of accomplishment and purpose.


As the event came to a close, the two staff members couldn't help but reflect on the meaningful connections they had made that day. The Glazer Children's Museum had been the perfect platform to bring families together and raise awareness about the significance of healthier homes for children.


With gratitude and renewed motivation, Rosie and Sheri returned to their office, eager to continue their mission. They knew that every step taken towards healthier homes would contribute to a brighter and healthier future for the children of Hillsborough County. The journey had just begun, and they were determined to make a lasting difference in the lives of these young ones, one healthy home at a time.
