“I have to take one day at a time or I’d go crazy,” Ebony said of her struggle to make ends meet. Ebony is the mother of two daughters, ages 8 and 17, and works seasonal jobs. Her finances are tight and she’s been concentrating on keeping the heat on, which makes getting her girls a better place to sleep than an old mattress on the floor challenging.
Ebony’s sleeping arrangements aren’t much better. She’s been sleeping on a mattress with springs hanging out. “I’m scratched up all up and down my legs.”
Friends In Deed was able to help the family with beds. “Now the girls have a bed that is so high they need a step stool. I’m grateful there are people out there that will help!”
“Obviously, someone had a bed [they no longer need], and now my girls have a bed,” Ebony said, appreciative that someone took the time to donate their bed rather than throw it away.
Back at Friends In Deed to pick up a bed for herself, Ebony decided she wanted to give back. “I have a desk at home. It’s not much,” she mused. “I would like to donate it!”
