PARTNERING WITH MORE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGENCIES & TEMPORARY HOUSING
In the past month we have been able to partner with 2 new Domestic Violence agencies . The "Small Sweet Dream Bags" are just the right size and give the children something to choose as their world is turned upside down. The directors put out several "Sweet Dream Bags" and the children get to choose the one they want -- they write the child's name on the sticker -- it is theirs to keep! Inside the bag is a soft, comfy fleece throw and a little beanie babie to love and a laminated card with positive words about them and it is all tied with a beautiful colorful bow! We are so thankful several church groups and 2 businesses and a service organization wanting to provide and package these sweet bags! We are so thankful that God has provided a way to comfort these precious children as they enter these Safe Shelters.
A Kiwanis Club is partnering with Sweet Dream to provide several agencies in Loveland these wonderful "Small Sweet Dream Bags"!!! Please know if your work or church would like to do a meaningful project -- this is a great one!!! Just call and we can get you started! If you ever just want to pick up a soft, comfy fleece throw (50"X60") we can always use fleece throws for the "Small" Bags!!!
WE LOVE SHARING ABOUT SWEET DREAM
If you belong to an organization, church, club or business that you think might be interested in hearing about the difference "Sweet Dream" is making in children's lives, we would love to come share and help people understand how they can make a difference --- "Sweet Dream" provides people and families an avenue to give in a very special way --- to help and show caring in a very personal and real way!
SWEET DREAM INDIA
We were able to send enough money to Sweet Dream India so they can put together anywhere between 27 to 30 bedding sets. They would like to distribute these by the end of November because December is the coldest month in India. As we receive funds that are noted for India -- we will be sending them so they can get "Sweet Dream Bedding Sets" to children that are so in need of warm, cozy, bedding for the winter! We will only send money that is specified for India.
THANK YOU FROM FAMILIES:
"My son is older and he acted cool when we picked out his bedding but went straight to his room and made his bed up! Thank you"
One little girl got a unicorn in her Sweet Dream Bag.--Her little brother fell and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance--as they we getting ready to take him, she ran up and got her unicorn and said, "I think I will need a friend at the hospital!"
"You guys will never know just how much you have blessed us and inspired us!"
"A special thanks from the bottom of our hearts! And a special thanks from this Dad!!"
"....thank you for making my grandkids happy! They have had a hard couple years with family trouble (parents). So Thank-you from the bottom of my heart for giving them a little happiness and they can see Jesus.
