Dignity & Rest


*all names have been changed to protect the privacy of the families we serve

Trish is a single mom working tirelessly to provide for her four children, but despite her best efforts, they sleep on the cold floor every night. The beds they need are out of reach, and the strain of making ends meet takes a toll. For her children, a soft bed would mean more than comfort—it would bring dignity and rest. With your help, we can provide these children the beds they desperately need, giving them the chance to sleep peacefully and dream big. Will you donate today and make a difference in a family’s life?

I hope this message finds you and your loved ones well. Thanks to your kindness and generosity, more than 2,500 children now have a bed to call their own, complete with a cozy quilt, a pillow, a toothbrush, a cherished stuffed animal, and their very own bedtime stories. This has been an exceptionally busy  year for the Beds for Kids program—delivering more beds than ever before. Every month brings a new wave of referrals, and each day, more families are connected with us, particularly as we enter the colder months of the year.

Thanks to YOU, children served by the Beds for Kids program receive one of the most essential gifts—a safe, warm, and comfortable place to sleep, giving them the foundation they need to thrive. This is something many of us may take for granted, but it is life-changing for families like Trish and her children.

As we look toward the new year, we’re launching our end-of-year campaign with a goal of raising $40,000 by December 31. These funds will allow us to continue providing beds to children in our community who desperately need them.

This giving season, will you help give the gift of a good night’s sleep to children who have never had a bed of their own?

  • $448 provides a bunk bed and two bedtime bags for siblings or friends in need.

  • $210 provides a complete bed setup—a bed frame, memory foam mattress, and bedtime bag—for one child in need.

  • Just $37 covers the cost of a bedtime bag, which includes a sheet set, blankets, a pillow, books, a stuffed animal, and a toothbrush.

Every contribution makes a difference. You can donate online at www.ohaat.org/donate-funds. With your support, we can let these children know they are seen, cared for, and valued.

With your support, we will impact our community in a lasting way! Please join us by using our online donation form at www.ohaat.org/donate-funds. We need friends like you to let these children know they matter.

Again, a HUGE thank you from all of us for helping to make the Beds for Kids program possible. We cannot continue this mission without your help.

­ Warm wishes for a joyful and peaceful holiday season!
