your environment impacts everything

Not only is it hard to know which neighbors are downing in a tough season, not everyone is equipped to help.

more than a messy closet

We're empowering people engaged with a social services agency to overcome an overwhelming season:
  • Long-term medical, mental health, and/or behavioral battles
  • Partner and sexual violence
  • Unsafe living spaces for children and seniors

Every second, a donation was made to help a neighbor on GoFundMe in 2021.

Most people want to help their neighbors who are struggling emotionally, but feel helpless to give practical relief.

At Sponsor a Space, we help community givers make a lasting impact in the daily lives of those drowning in emotional clutter through compassionate organizing sessions.

We believe that no one should struggle through emotional clutter alone.

For those who are struggling, the clutter is more than just stuff - it’s holding back their life.

When stuff stops being just clutter and represents pain, Sponsor A Space is here to help.

We break through emotional barriers caused by clutter.

She has a Bachelors in Adolescent Studies / Social Services, and is a Board Member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado.

Her work experience spans many social work-supporting avenues - from foster care, equine-assisted therapy, to supporting adults with mental and physical disabilities. She has a Bachelors in Psychology and is a Certified Life Coach. She's also volunteered at many social services organizations such as Stable Strides, Mustard Seed, and Tessa.

Kayla is currently a Targeted Case Manager for Adult Community Services. She's motivated by Sponsor A Space's accessibility to bring peace to people who could not otherwise access these services.

Katie Ferguson-Glidewell
Secretary

Katie is passionate about being of service others to foster their growth and empowerment. Her full family life has led her on her own journey of creating systems to organize their busy lives.

Her work has intersected child welfare and adolescent social work during her time as the Department of Human Services' (DHS) Liaison for the Community Mental Health Center.

Meghan Jackson

Meghan believes in the potential of others. Her natural passion for reimagining spaces lead her to helping people improve their lives through peaceful, organized environments.

Her 11 years of experience in social services, with the most notable position being her role at the Department of Human Services (DHS). During that time, she developed a life skills teaching program, built community partnerships, and helped hundreds of community members to greater self-sufficiency. She has a Bachelors of Psychology and Masters in Social Work (MSW).

In 2019, she founded Joyful Spaces, a home organizing business. This career pivot allowed her to embark on her foster care journey, and she quickly realized that this practical support was very similar to her social services experience.

Sponsor A Space is the culmination of Meghan's love of giving, her support of communities, and desire to equip people with tools to develop their own peace and productivity in their daily lives.
