Apply for a bed |
Beds4kidz, the Bed ministry at UpB4 the Son provides free, gently used beds, to people in need. For a variety of reasons, most can't afford to buy one on their own. Some have survived being homeless and just moved back inside. Others are escaping domestic violence and abuse. Some are caught without health insurance at just the wrong time. Many have lost jobs, had to move or downsize...while quite a few are struggling with mental illness and other disabling conditions.
The Beds4Kidz program is simple & effective. Families who need beds, apply online at www.beds4kidz.org. As soon as possible based on our inventory and all our outstanding requests, we give them beds that match their personal needs, and we do it free of charge.

Already, in just a short period of time, we have moved over 2,500 people from the floor onto nice beds! Still, many more families ask us for help every week. Our goal is that someday soon, every child in New Mexico will have a safe, comfortable bed to sleep in each night. The only limitations are, how many beds we have available, and volunteers to make this all happen.UpB4 the Son Ministries & Charities, a Non-Profit registered with the IRS as a 501c3, is excited to present the newest branch of our family tree, Beds4Kidz !!
Everyone knows a good nights sleep is one of the most important keys to physical and emotional wellness. We believe that no child of God should have to sleep on the floor or the couch, yet thousands do...every single night!
Your support is the key to reaching the goal! Donate your gently used beds & linens (of any size or age) so we can give them away to those in need. Your financial gifts allow us to purchase beds at wholesale (when the number of donated beds don't meet the demands), and cover fuel, maintenance & insurance costs for our delivery truck. None of us, who work so hard on this project are paid. Our staff is all volunteer. That means 100% of everything you donate goes directly to serve those it is intended for!
Thanks for being part of this important project, and making such a huge impact on so many lives!

"I have been stunned at how many people are sleeping on their floors at night...or 3-4-5 to a bed! Pregnant women, little kids, the disabled, hard working moms and dads...they all need something decent to sleep on." |
