In recognition of National Sleep Awareness Week March 12-18th and World Sleep Day March 18th, New Life Furniture Bank needs your help to provide beds for children in need!
1 in 4 Cincinnatians live below the poverty line, and Cincinnati has one of the highest child poverty rates in the country. The numbers are worse in some areas of Northern Kentucky. Many of these families are overcoming homelessness, domestic abuse, extreme poverty, or other devastating circumstances. All of which can lead to living in an unfurnished home, and often results in sleeping on the floor.
Sleeping on a bed is important!
For children and adults, a good night’s sleep is needed for proper cognitive and behavioral functions. Some studies have shown that sleep deprivation leaves people vulnerable to attention problems, decreased cognition, delayed reactions, and mood swings. Additionally, lack of sleep has been linked to a higher risk for certain diseases and medical conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other problems like impulsive behavior, anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.
Make a BIG Impact Today!
New Life Furniture Bank’s Beds for Sleepyheads campaign goal is to raise $10,000 to provide beds this week to children in need. Your donation will go directly to providing a child with a mattress, box spring, frame, clean bedding, and new pillows.
Donations of gently used, clean mattresses and beds are always welcome! Call 513-313-0530 to arrange a pick up today!
