Dreams for Better Sleep
Believe in Dreams has seen an increase in dreamers requesting their own bed and items for a space to call their own. Socioeconomically disadvantaged children often have to share a small bed with parents or siblings, sleep in a sleeping bag or on the floor. Dreamers like Justine, 12, living with her grandmother after experiencing neglect, dreams of having a bed and room that she can call her own and grow into as a teenager. Not having your own bed often leads to a poor night sleep that will affect a child’s academic performance and adversely affect behavior for several years. When kids have their own bed, they get better quality and longer sleep which improves emotional health and increases their ability to stay engaged in school.
Now is the time you can support Dreams for Better Sleep. Together we will ensure each child that dreams of quality sleep has the essentials they need!

At-Home Learning Opportunities with Waterford
Believe in Dreams has partnered with the Waterford Upstart Program for amazing at-home learning opportunities. This program helps children boost their confidence and prepare for the next school year. Strengthen reading, math, and science skills in minutes a day with this fun, proven, at-home learning. It’s free for families.
Waterford is looking to recruit four-year old children who will be in PreK the fall of 2022. As part of the Upstart Program, each participant will receive a computer, and for homes that don’t have internet service, it will be provided. Each family will be assigned a coach. As an incentive, participants that complete the program will also be able to keep the computer.
