My Very Own Bed

The Power of New Beds for Kids: Help Transform 1800 Lives this Year!

Imagine a child, exhausted but unable to rest, drifting off to sleep on a couch, the floor, or a shared bed. For too many kids in our community, this is their reality.

For 10 years, My Very Own Bed has been changing that. We provide new beds and Dream Kits to children in the Twin Cities, giving them the comfort and security they need to thrive. 

A new bed makes a big impact in a child's life, including:

• Improved school performance: Rested kids focus better and learn more.
• Healthier development: Sleep boosts immunity and promotes growth.
• Greater emotional well-being: A bed of their own provides a sense of safety and ownership and better sleep improves behavior.

"I love the beds and the kids are very happy. I am very grateful that the program was able to provide these beds for my kids because before we were couch hopping, sleeping on air mattresses, and building pallets on the floor.” – Parent

Your donation provides children in the Twin Cities with comfortable, safe places to sleep.

Our goal is to reach 1,800 children with the gift of a good night's sleep this year. But we need your help! With your support we can raise $50,000 this Give to the Max Day to ensure we reach our year-end goal!

With matching gifts from our long-time supporters Milow Electric and Cornerstone Auto, your gift up to $8,000 will be doubled!
