Don’t be fooled by the sinister characters Glenn Close has played on the big screen — this global superstar has heart. On this week’s Celebrity IOU, she gives back to her friend Robin, a fellow mental health advocate and the first volunteer who signed up to support Glenn’s mental health initiative, Bring Change to Mind. "Anyone who has been a caregiver for someone dealing with mental health issues knows it’s exhausting. Everyone needs a place [where] they can find sanctuary and peace and build up their emotional strength again,” said Glenn. “Robin deserves a place to recharge.” Alongside Property Brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott, Glenn builds a backyard retreat Robin can enjoy.

“I didn’t have a voice until you spoke up,” Robin told Glenn during the reveal. “I didn’t have the vocabulary or the courage, so [meeting you] probably saved my life.”

Robin’s peaceful backyard boasts many mature trees. Her family has always enjoyed sitting in the outdoor chairs, sipping coffee in the morning.

The team installed an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) unit in Robin’s backyard. A foundation built of gravel and concrete posts supports the structure off the ground and improves drainage on the property.
