A mattress for Damien to be well-rested and take on the school day
Posted Aug 30, 2024
Damien is currently sleeping on a very old mattress that is damaged. It is not comfortable and affects his sleep, which in turn impacts his school performance. Damien has made so much progress with his attendance and participation in school. Getting good sleep will help him continue his progress in school. Getting a mattress will help mitigate this barrier for the family, as Damien's mom is unable to afford a new mattress at this time.
Damien is 14 years old and lives in NE
Damien enjoys playing video games with his older sister, playing sports such as pickleball, basketball, and football, and watching TV and YouTube videos. He is doing well in school, and despite the traumatic past he has experienced due to his mother's substance use, he remains focused on a positive future. His mother has now been sober for six months and is working long hours just to keep up with the bills. As a result, financial resources are very limited for the family. This family has really put their best foot forward to make positive changes for themselves, both as individuals and the family as a whole.
