Ayden, a member of our Youth Advisory Board, reflects on what it was like to not sleep in his bed. We don't realize how much our sleep is compromised when we sleep on a couch, air mattress, or on the floor. So many kids experience that disrupted sleep nightly. For #GTMD24, donate any amount to help us provide new beds to kids so they can get restorative sleep every night. You'll help us reach our goal of providing 1,800 beds to kids this year and we could win Give to the Max prizes worth up to $10,000! https://lnkd.in/gADTj9V

Because of amazing supporters like the Milow family and Milow Electric / Milow Outdoors we can provide beds to so many kids! They've helped us with everything – bed deliveries, electrical services, event sponsorships, and many stuffed animals. Their $5,000 matching gift for Give to the Max Day was a huge success thanks to YOU! We're 23% of the way to our goal and need your help to reach $50,000 tomorrow! Our match from Cornerstone Automotive is active now, so have your gift doubled today! https://lnkd.in/gADTj9V #GTMD24

We love it when Land O'Lakes, Inc. team members join us for bed deliveries! They send a group to volunteer with us every month, making them true champions of My Very Own Bed.
