Malik Got His Bed—Let’s Keep the Bedtime Magic Going!
Please Help Us Raise $40,000 to Provide 150 Beds for Children in Need
As summer unfolds and the days grow longer, we're excited to launch our Summer Campaign for the Beds for Kids program. This season, we aim to raise $40,000—enough to provide 150 high-quality bed packages to children in need. A comfortable, supportive bed can be life-changing for a child. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a place to dream, grow, and thrive. With your help, we can ensure hundreds of children in our community get the rest they need to reach their full potential.
Your Support Changes Lives
When Tasha lost her job, she and her children moved in with relatives, where her son Malik slept on a pile of blankets on the floor. He never complained, though exhaustion was taking a toll—his grades slipped, and he struggled to stay awake in school. Tasha, now working two part-time jobs, did all she could to keep them fed and safe, but comfort and stability felt out of reach. Then she heard about Beds for Kids. Just two days later, volunteers arrived with new twin beds for all three children. Malik’s came with soft sheets, a warm comforter, bedtime books, and even a stuffed animal. That night, he finally slept soundly. In the weeks that followed, Malik was a new child—rested, engaged in school, smiling, and drawing rockets and stars. That simple bed gave him more than rest. It gave him a place to dream, and it gave his mother something just as precious: hope.
All names have been changed to protect the privacy of the families we serve
Every dollar counts:
For over 27 years, since the inception of the Beds for Kids program, we have witnessed the transformative power of a good night's sleep. It's not just about providing a bed; it's about fostering a sense of security, dignity, and hope for the future. Thanks to your generosity, so far this year alone, over 1,500 children have received a bed, blankets, sheets, quilt, pillow, toothbrush, stuffed animal, and bedtime books of their very own. Thanks to you, these little ones will now be able to go to bed in a clean, safe, and warm bed each night to get the sleep they need to thrive—something many of us take for granted. On their behalf, thank you for your support.
Why Your Gift Matters Now More Than Ever
Ongoing tariffs and global pricing uncertainty have made it increasingly difficult—and more expensive—for us to source the beds and bedding materials needed for the Beds for Kids program. Supply chain delays and rising costs mean every dollar must stretch further than ever before.
Despite these challenges, our commitment remains firm: every child deserves a safe place to sleep. Your donation today helps bridge the gap, ensuring we can continue delivering beds and bedtime essentials, without compromising on quality or care.
