Imagine…sleeping without a pillow, blanket, sheets or mattress? Thousands of local families and individuals face this situation every day, but YOU can help!
In order to provide beds and linens to over 14,000 people every year, Bridging needs your help to stock the shelves. Heartwarming stories and joyful tears from the families we serve are common at Bridging, here is what one client family wrote after receiving a basic home set up and can now get a good nights’ sleep:
We are so grateful for the furniture you provided to us. It is very humbling and humiliating to have to ask for help with furniture, but your organization made the whole process very fulfilling. Wow, what a great feeling to sleep in a Bed! Woohoo!
