We love seeing celebrities use their influence for good, and entertainment star Ciara and her husband, NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, are doing just that. The couple, who welcomed their second child together over the summer, recently teamed up with Amazon Home to surprise a deserving Seattle resident named Marc Sellier with a complete home makeover.

As a registered nurse, Sellier has put his life on the line this year treating COVID-19 patients. He has been employed at the Seattle Children's Hospital for 17 years, and currently works the night shift, which keeps him away from his wife, Mona, a local Pilates instructor, and his two daughters.

But managing hectic schedules and raising two children during a pandemic isn't the only challenge Sellier has faced this year. After a flood hit the Selliers' area in January, they were forced to pack up their belongings and move to a hotel, where they lived until June. Since returning home, they had yet to unpack their boxes to make their house truly feel like a home.

With the support of Amazon Home and the expertise of Seattle-based interior designer Sara Eizen, Ciara and Russell, who live in the Seattle area, wanted to give Sellier and his family their dream home in an effort to show their appreciation for his service. “Russ and I are longtime supporters of Seattle Children’s Hospital and when it comes to Seattle, we’re always looking for ways to celebrate our city and the people who make it great,” Ciara tells Good Housekeeping exclusively. “It’s incredibly exciting to be a part of this process and give back to someone who has given our community so much.”

From painting and reflooring, to choosing new furniture and decor, every inch of the property received an upgrade. Since Ciara and Russell share a passion for interior design, they thoughtfully considered the Selliers' love of architecture and their happy place — the ocean — when choosing pieces for the home. “I’m humbled to be honored by Ciara and Amazon Home, and can’t wait to see the exciting transformation of our previously undone house into a new, tranquil sanctuary!” Sellier says.
