We are seeking assistance in obtaining a twin-size bed with mattress and sheets/blankets and a crib with mattress and bedding for a devoted father and his 11-month-old daughter. The father, who is a survivor of domestic violence and lives with a traumatic brain injury, is currently sleeping on a small air mattress, while his daughter sleeps in a worn pack-and-play. Due to his injuries, he suffers from significant migraines, and the lack of proper bedding has made restful sleep extremely difficult. His daughter, who is rapidly growing and developing, needs a safe, supportive crib to ensure her well-being and healthy sleep. Providing this family with a proper bed and crib would greatly improve their quality of life, support the father’s recovery, and offer the stability and safety every young child deserves. Any support in meeting this need would be deeply appreciated.
