b'We Wont Rest Until Every Child Has A BedImproving the health and wellness of children and families literally overnight.Sweet Dream Makers (SDM) is a rapidly growing non-profit promoting and improving the health and well-beingofchildrenandfamiliesbyprovidingbeds, bedding, and essential furniture. Founded in response to an overwhelming community need to get children into a bed of their own, SDM delivers, at no cost, new beds to children and families sleeping on the floor, sharing beds, or sleeping in unsafe and/or unsanitary conditions. In addition, each child gets to choose their own bedding to gowiththeirnewbed,givingthemownershipanda feeling of pride along with each good nights rest.From humble beginnings as a grassroots, social action program of Temple Beth El in Boca Raton, SDM has expanded to meet the needs of thousands of children and caregivers in Florida. Their signature program A Bed of My Own, matches each member of the household with the bed best suited to their needs. With a safe, clean and appropriate bed to sleep in each night, these families have made great strides in health and well-being outcomes, school performance, and ability to meet every day needs.Three HOT grantees: JFS (page 13); Caridad (page 15); and the Caregiving Youth Project (page 31) already collaborate with SDM and as time goes on hopefully others will. SDM provided 2,011 beds in 2019 and more than 4,800 beds, since they began their work in 2017. According to The American Association of Pediatrics, sleep loss poses a serious risk to the physical and emotional health, academic success, and safety of our nations youth. The prevalence and effectsofinsufficientsleepmaybefurther magnified in high-risk adolescents.SDM knows the power of a good nights sleep thanks to the post-survey they administer. 85% have reported that their childrens quality of sleep has vastly improved Nearly80%havereportedbetterbehavior, grades and homework habits In 2019 HOTs first year making grants to Sweet Dreams, we made 4 grants totaling $33,718.50 which was used to buy 134 beds and beddingSDMs Wish List is very simple.

Think of it, every $125 of what you give is matched and the combined $250 will take a child off the floor and into a new bed. $1,000 buys 8 beds and your $2,500 will buy 20 beds. 10'
