What happens when a platform that connects communities meets a movement that builds beds for children who have none? Hope multiplies.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace is honored to announce CarePortal as our newest strategic partner in the mission to serve vulnerable children and families. Together, we’re addressing a challenge that’s as simple as it is heartbreaking: child bedlessness.
The Reality of Child Bedlessness
Across the United States, thousands of children go to sleep each night without a bed of their own. For these children and families, a missing bed isn’t just about furniture—it’s often a signal that a family is in crisis, struggling with poverty, instability, or hardship.
At Sleep in Heavenly Peace, we believe every child deserves a safe, comfortable place to lay their head. And now, through this partnership with CarePortal, we can reach even more children who need us most.
How the Partnership Works
CarePortal is a technology platform that connects child-serving professionals—caseworkers, teachers, social workers—with local churches and community volunteers ready to help. When these professionals identify a child sleeping on the floor, they can submit a verified request through CarePortal.
That’s where our SHP chapters come in. Through CarePortal’s real-time platform, community volunteers can respond by delivering handmade beds to children in need. It’s a seamless connection between urgent needs and caring communities ready to act.
At Sleep in Heavenly Peace, we believe no child should have to sleep on the floor. By partnering with CarePortal, we can place beds exactly where they’re needed most, through trusted requests and community responders who are ready to act. Together, we’re not just delivering beds; we’re delivering comfort, safety, and a reminder to every child that they are seen and cared for.
More Than Just a Bed
This partnership embodies what CarePortal calls ‘Care-Sharing’—neighbors seeing and serving one another. When we deliver a bed, we’re not just meeting a physical need. We’re bringing dignity, hope, and belonging into a home. We’re telling a child: “You matter. You belong.”
And here’s the beautiful truth: lives are changed on both sides of the connection. The children and families who receive beds experience restored dignity and hope. And the volunteers who build and deliver beds discover the profound joy of serving their neighbors in a tangible, meaningful way.
Connection That Changes Everything
Adrien Lewis, Founder of CarePortal, said it perfectly: “When a child sleeps on the floor, a family is in crisis. By partnering with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, we get to respond together to restore dignity and hope. This is Care-Sharing at its best—neighbors seeing and serving one another. In the process, a child hears, ‘You matter. You belong,’ and lives are changed on both sides of the connection.”
This partnership isn’t just about meeting a need. It’s about reimagining generosity and strengthening families through community. By combining technology, tangible resources, and local relationships, we’re amplifying what’s possible when compassion meets coordination.
