I hope this message finds you happy and healthy as we near the end of another extraordinary year.

Thanks to your generosity, so far this year over 1300 children have received a bed, blankets, sheets, a quilt, a pillow, a toothbrush, a stuffed animal, and bedtime books of their very own.

Thanks to you, these families will receive the best gift of all this year - hope that their children’s futures will be healthy and strong. They 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.

Every day we receive more referrals and requests to help families who are struggling, to help children like Maia, a 3-year-old girl with special needs, and her 5-year-old brother Christopher who are receiving support from an Early Intervention Program. Following Maia’s birth her mom was hospitalized for an extended period of time. Maia's and Christopher’s dad is legally blind. The family faces many daily challenges due to disability, low wages, and lack of resources. Thanks to your support Maia and Christopher no longer sleep on a shared air mattress on the floor, they have beds of her own to sleep in each night. They love their new beds and are able to get the sleep they need to thrive.

Today, we embark on our end of year campaign to prepare for the new year ahead. Our goal is to continue to provide beds for even more families like Maia and Christopher’s by raising $25,000 by December 31st.

We’re reaching out to you because we need your help. This giving season, will you please consider giving the gift of a good nights sleeps to children in our community who do not know what it’s like to have a bed of their own?

Just $32 covers the cost of a bedtime bag which includes a sheet set, blankets, a pillow, books, a stuffed animal and toothbrush.
$210 provides all of those things PLUS a brand-new bed frame and memory foam mattress for one child in need.
$448 provides a bunk bed and bedtime bags for two children in need.

Will you please consider making a donation and change a child’s life forever?

With your support, we will impact our community in a lasting way! Please join us by sending your gift with the enclosed envelope or 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.

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and happy holiday season!

Yours sincerely,
Kate Fay
