Kids Without Beds in America: The Hidden Crisis | Sleep in Heavenly Peace Episode 167

from The Truman Charities Podcast · host Jamie Truman

Tonight, kids in your town are falling asleep on cold, hard floors. Not because of neglect, but simply because their families don't have beds. Luke Mickelson heard about a family in his community whose children were sleeping on hardwood floors, so he built them a bed. Then he built another, and another. His work eventually turned into Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that has now delivered over 360,000 beds across 47 states and four countries. In this episode, you'll learn why a bed is more than just a bed, how two foster siblings nearly lost each other without one, and how anyone can show up to a building event and help change a child's life. With over 160,000 kids on their waiting list, the need is enormous.
