Full size mattress for Zayden to replace his air mattress

Posted Apr 2, 2025
Zayden feels incredibly fortunate to be in a home with a family that knows him and has also welcomed his little brother. This family had never fostered before and hadn't even considered it part of their future. However, since their son is good friends with Zayden from school and sports, they became emergency certified when the boys needed a place to stay. Due to the urgency of their situation, Zayden has been sleeping on an air mattress. Now that his case is moving toward a more permanent arrangement, he would love to have a real mattress. This would allow him to get better sleep and truly feel like a member of his new foster family.

Zayden is 15 years old and lives in PA

Zayden entered foster care due to domestic and substance abuse issues within his family. He and his brother have moved in with a close family friend whom they know from sports. This arrangement has been a blessing for many reasons, especially because it allows the boys to stay together. Although adjusting to their new life has been challenging, Zayden is doing the best he can. He even maintained straight A grades during the last marking period amid the chaos.
