This September, to celebrate our annual “Have an Impact, Make a Difference Day,” and in honor of Verdis Norton, the ASEA Advancing Life Foundation joined forces with the nonprofit Sleep in Heavenly Peace to help ensure that no child sleeps on the floor. ASEA volunteers constructed 23 bunk beds and assembled materials for 27 more—bringing comfort, dignity, and restful nights to 100 children in need. This powerful collaboration reflects what’s possible when we come together to lift others.
No Child Should Sleep on the Floor
All children deserve a safe, warm place to sleep. Yet across the United States, thousands go to bed each night without one. That’s where Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) steps in—and why ASEA’s Advancing Life Foundation was proud to partner with them during the national Bunks Across America initiative this September.
These beds represent more than sleep—they’re a foundation for dreams, a signal of care, and a promise that no child is forgotten. SHP has delivered over 300,000 beds across the country thanks to compassionate volunteers, sponsors, and advocates. But with over 150,000 children still waiting, there’s more work to do.
Together with SHP volunteers, our team rolled up our sleeves, sanded wood, and assembled pieces of something so much bigger than furniture. In one incredible day, we built 23 bunk beds by hand. But the impact didn’t stop there. We also provided the materials for 27 more beds that were constructed the following weekend—bringing the total to 50 children who will now rest in safety, dignity, and comfort.
When our volunteers looked around at the stacks of lumber becoming headboards and slats, they saw proof that compassion builds more than beds. It builds confidence. It builds peace of mind for struggling families. And it builds a foundation for kids to wake up ready to learn, grow, and dream big.
