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 a 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, the 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!
