GIVE MONEY
Donate to help put more heads in beds
For an average price of $250 per child, Sweet Dream Makers ensures that each child receives a:
- New mattress with mattress encasement to protect against bed bugs and bed wetting (a frequent occurrence among children suffering the effects of trauma)
- Box spring and bed frame
- Bedding including sheets, comforter, and fresh pillows chosen by the child
Every child gets to pick out their own bedding when they receive a bed from Sweet Dream Makers. They smile so big when they get to choose their favorite colors and characters!
Ways to donate

This Back to School Season, we ask you to donate $250 to buy a bed for a local student in need. Hands On Tzedakah (“HOT”) generously supports our program and believes that every child should have a bed of their own. To help make this happen, HOT will MATCH all gifts given by September 18th that are made in increments of $250, i.e., $250, $500, $750, $1,000, etc..
Credit Card is the fastest and easiest way to donate funds to buy beds and bedding. We are grateful when donors cover our processing fees. You will automatically receive a donation receipt and there is an area to make a note and send a tribute.

GIVE FURNITURE
Your gently-used furniture could use another home
Families who can’t afford beds are often in need of additional household essentials, such as a dresser to store clothing or a table at which to eat meals, do homework, and gather around for daily life. Donations from our friends and neighbors allow us to provide these items free of charge through our warehouse in Delray Beach, generously funded by the Pat Moran Family Foundation.
We will gladly schedule a Pick-Up of your gently-used furniture and household items in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Boynton Beach. Pick-ups are scheduled every Saturday (you will be able to pick your best date when scheduling). We only accept stain-free, like-new mattresses and furniture in good condition.
