With the help of Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter, producer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, Ciara, and her NFL Seattle Seahawks quarterback husband, Russell Wilson, Amazon Home is giving back to a hometown hero who serves our community with each shift he works at Seattle Children’s Hospital.\n\nMarc has been providing care for patients as a nurse at Seattle Children’s Hospital for more than 17 years. He currently works the 12-hour night shift as a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit charge nurse and has been commended by his supervisors and coworkers for his work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Marc has two daughters and a wife, Mona, whom he met in college.\n\nAfter a burst pipe led to severe water damage in their home last winter, the family was forced to move out for more than six months. Over the past month, Amazon Home worked with Seattle-based interior designers to select furnishings and décor for Marc and Mona’s home makeover. Ciara and Russell added their flair for interior design to the project, creating a sanctuary for the family.\n\n![Amazon Home, Ciara, and Russell Wilson partner to surprise a hometown hero with a home makeover](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/b231dda/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x3000+0+0/resize/767x1151!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2Fa3%2Fa1%2Fdfbcbcae4d40a4101355b6589752%2Fhh20-editorial-studio-0060-main-uncropped-rt.jpg)\nAfter: third floor studio\n\n![Amazon Home, Ciara, and Russell Wilson partner to surprise a hometown hero with a home makeover](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/64d3656/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x1333+0+0/resize/767x511!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F03%2F9d%2Ffc47677945769697c28a9583aa54%2Fhh-before-thirdfloor-02.JPG)\nBefore: third floor studio\n\n![Amazon Home, Ciara, and Russell Wilson partner to surprise a hometown hero with a home makeover](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/2846a78/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1400x933+0+0/resize/767x511!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F82%2Ff5%2Fbd1344174627a6b96e9437b07b2d%2Fhh-before-thirdfloor-01.JPG)\nBefore: third floor exercise space\n\n![Amazon Home, Ciara, and Russell Wilson partner to surprise a hometown hero with a home makeover](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/beda3e3/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1400x2100+0+0/resize/767x1151!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F82%2F63%2F6815173a41598b78a67dcea3d1f7%2Fhh20-editorial-pilates-0471-main-uncropped-rt.jpg)\nAfter: Third for exercise space\n\n![Amazon Home, Ciara, and Russell Wilson partner to surprise a hometown hero with a home makeover](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/a3f3cd4/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1400x933+0+0/resize/767x511!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F15%2F51%2Fc6bcb332401fb7eb6fbb3d472227%2Fhh-before-living-02.JPG)\nBefore: Living/dining\n\n![Amazon Home, Ciara, and Russell Wilson partner to surprise a hometown hero with a home makeover](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/d88e7d1/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x2849+0+0/resize/767x1093!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F55%2Ff3%2F3bf2463f4196a797583d224d784b%2Fhh20-editorial-diningroom-0402-main-uncropped-rt.jpg)\nAfter: Dining room\n\n![Amazon Home, Ciara, and Russell Wilson partner to surprise a hometown hero with a home makeover](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/ed7232d/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x3000+0+0/resize/767x1151!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F6b%2F75%2Fcfc6c77b4d2b881f2f7b8f4e2ba5%2Fhh20-editorial-livingroom-0315-main-uncropped-rt.jpg)\nAfter: living room\n\n![Amazon Home, Ciara, and Russell Wilson partner to surprise a hometown hero with a home makeover](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/fbf4cc0/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x1333+0+0/resize/767x511!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F4f%2F90%2Fe6f61c0740c8ba5a5bb0abf7e397%2Fhh-before-bedroom-01.JPG)\nBefore: bedroom\n\n![Amazon Home, Ciara, and Russell Wilson partner to surprise a hometown hero with a home makeover](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/2e67799/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x3000+0+0/resize/767x1151!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F77%2F94%2Fd1209474484d938fb69aeaf6f63c%2Fhh20-editorial-bedroom-0179-main-uncropped-rt.jpg)\nAfter: bedroom\n\n![Amazon Home, Ciara, and Russell Wilson partner to surprise a hometown hero with a home makeover](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/8f5d235/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x3000+0+0/resize/767x1151!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F24%2Fdb%2F371ec1b649d4a266d09e3acec266%2Fhh20-editorial-patio-0509-main-uncropped-rt.jpg)\nNew outdoor space\n\n![Amazon Home, Ciara, and Russell Wilson partner to surprise a hometown hero with a home makeover](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/3e76874/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x3000+0+0/resize/767x1151!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F14%2Fac%2Fef32b65d4296a4eddab39b8c5512%2Fhh20-editorial-balcony-0432-main-uncropped-rt.jpg)\nNew outdoor space\n\nThe home makeover includes new furnishings and decor from brands including Dorel, Stone & Beam, Rivet, Christopher Knight, Zinus, and Yankee Candle; kitchen items from Le Creuset, OXO, and Stasher; smart home products from Etekcity, iRobot, Amazon Echo, Fire TV Devices, and much more.
