Sweet Dream Makers Update

We received this email from Sweet Dream Makers, and we gladly share it with you!

Dear Jane,

I hope you're doing well and staying warm in this cooler weather! As the Sweet Dream Makers team is bundling up, I wanted to reach out to share a quick update on the children who will spend this night warm in their beds thanks to St. Mary Magdalene & St. Martin Episcopal Church's support of our A Bed of My Own program. 

Less than three weeks ago, your congregation generously provided a $5,000 grant — funding we have already fully expended to provide 20 new beds with bedding to children and their families! From sleeping on the floor or another unsafe, unsanitary, or inappropriate condition, these children now have their own comfortable, secure place to lay their heads each night. Even better, each child got to pick out their own bedding — they are sleeping even more soundly because they can cuddle up in their favorite color, character, or sports team.

I am attaching photos of two siblings whose lives your church has changed through your generosity — I hope they warm your heart on this chilly day!

So far this year, we have received requests from 78 Broward County social service agencies to provide 737 beds for children and their families in North Broward alone — and that number grows daily. I truly appreciate your partnership in helping us meet the need — our community's children can stay warm and get the sleep they need to thrive, all thanks to you!

All my best,

Suzanne Broad
