Project Title: A Bed of My Own
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
This request is for support of Sweet Dream Makers\u2019 A Bed of My Own program, which provides children and parents in need with safe, clean beds at no cost to the family. <\/p>\n
SDM fulfills the immediate need for families lacking the basic necessities of home, determined through careful vetting of referrals from case managers from 75+ partner social service agencies, such as American Association of Caregiving Youth. These community partners identify families in need and SDM responds case by case with beds, furniture, and houseware solutions tailored specifically to each family\u2019s situation. Leveraging relationships with area furniture companies and low-cost suppliers, each recipient is provided with: a new mattress, mattress encasement to protect against bed bugs and bed-wetting, box spring, bed frame, bedding including sheets, comforter, and pillows chosen by the children.<\/p>\n
For children and teens, inadequate sleep leads to health and education issues with potentially devastating long-term consequences. Students who are not well-rested struggle academically, emotionally, and socially. Lack of childhood sleep greatly increases the risk for obesity, diabetes, and mental health challenges. These hurdles drastically limit the potential for well-being and success for the most vulnerable members of our community – but these risks can be significantly reduced by providing children and families with safe, clean, and appropriate beds.<\/p>\n
Today, SDM provides over 300 beds per month to children and families in need at an average cost of $250 per person. We are the only local nonprofit focused specifically on beds, bedding, and essential furniture as a critical component of safety, security, and personal dignity for families in need. To date, we have proudly provided 10,500+ beds to 4,800+ families and provide more than 300 families with other essential furniture ever year. A grant of $5,000 will provide 20 local children with A Bed of Their Own.\n<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: $948,983<\/p>\n
