Every child deserves a bed to sleep in.

Imagine trying to get through your day after a night spent on a cold, hard floor.

For too many children in Wakefield, this is their reality. A bed is more than just a piece of furniture – it’s a place where children can rest, dream, and feel safe.

Yet, over 6,000 children in the Wakefield district go to sleep every night without a bed to call their own. I believe that every child deserves better.

I know that a bed is a basic need that can have a huge impact on a child’s physical health, emotional well-being, and academic success. By providing a child with a bed, I'm not only giving them a good nights’ sleep, I'm giving them a good education, hope, a future, a routine and stability.
