A huge number of children in Greene and Putnam Counties are living below the poverty line. Many of those children do not have a bed to sleep in. They sleep on the floor, on a sofa or on a bed with 3 or more others. We recently delivered beds for two children, ages 4 and 6, who share the same sofa. Do you think they get a healthy night’s sleep? Teachers report children falling asleep in class. They report children who can’t focus because of a lack of good sleep. Not having the ability to get a restful night’s sleep can impact their growth, their education and, eventually, their entire future. Imagine if that was someone you love.
