Maggie Story

The Children's Bed Charity

Maggie and her 3 children moved in with their extended family due to financial struggles - 6 children and 4 adults sharing a small terraced home. Maggie's children were sleeping on a shared mattress which was having an effect on one child in particular, who is diagnosed with epilepsy.

When the home visit was made, it was clear that both families needed support, and another referral was made for the second family. Having 6 children and 4 adults sharing a home creates many issues around a positive sleeping environment, and aside of the lack of beds and bundle items, it was near impossible to ensure a bed time routine for any of the children.
Zarach has been able to provide bunkbeds for the children, to utilise the space while giving them a comfortable place to rest their head each night.

Having these essentials included in the bed bundle, removes many physical, cognitive and emotional barriers. You can feel the excitement in this six year old's voice is, and knowing he has a proper bed of his own is just one of the reasons the work we do is so valuable.

Look at my bunk bed!
