| Everyone
Deserves a Good Night
Sleep |
| Imagine
not being able to experience
the joy of tucking your
children in bed at night
and reading their favorite
bedtime story. This
is the reality for thousands
of families in DuPage
County because they
have to sleep on the
floor. The cost of a
mattress is beyond their
reach when earning $16,000
a year to support a
family of four.
In
2006, we had 2,769
requests for beds
and cribs. Right now,
a family in need of
a bed must wait two
to three months because
of the enormous demand.
You can help us reduce
the wait time for
beds and give low-income
families the chance
to wake up from a
good night's sleep
feeling refreshed
and energized to meet
the challenges of
their day.

| Share
the Gift of a Good Night's
Sleep |
| At
Sharing Connections,
we believe that everyone
has something to share.
Our Good Night Sleep
program gives you the
opportunity to share
hope for the future.
Your donation to the
Good Night Sleep program
will be used by Sharing
Connections to purchase
a new bed for a family
sleeping on the floor.
Your generosity will
provide our clients,
living in poverty, with
the rest and comfort
needed to recover from
the daily challenges
and obstacles they face.
A
donation of $200 to
Sharing Connections
will enable us to
provide one more bed
for the over 600 people
waiting! What's doubly
exciting is that,
through the generosity
of a local foundation,
contributions will
be matched dollar-for-dollar
up to $10,000, meaning
your donation will
purchase TWICE as
many beds for our
clients! |

| The
Difference a Bed Makes
I
wanted to thank you
very much for everything
you have done for
my family. I’ve
gone through some
bad times and I am
glad that my kids
have a place to lay
their heads at night.
My youngest daughter
didn’t want
to get up for preschool
because she was so
comfortable on her
new bed. Thank you
for putting a smile
on my children’s
faces. This means
a lot to me. Please
thank everyone at
your organization
on behalf of my family.
We really appreciate
your kind hearts.
Thank you from
the whole family.
- Fatima
