She is 6 years old.
She has no place to call her own.
No quiet room for her to relax.
No soft pillow to lie her head.
Every night she lies on the floor with her blanket.
She comes to class everyday with a smile.
She comes everyday ready to learn.
She comes everyday and tells me she loves me.
Every night she lies on the floor with her blanket.
I never knew because I never asked.
And one day I did. “Honey, why are you so tired?”
She hugged me and said, “I didn’t sleep so good,
it was cold on the floor, even with my blanket.”
I cried just a little so she wouldn’t see.
And at that moment I stopped teaching.
I started asking them all, “Where do you sleep?”
They are 6 and 7 years old.
They have no place to call their own.
No quiet room for them to relax.
No soft pillows to lay their heads.
Every night they lie on the floor with their blankets.

We have been chosen to be
Elements IV Interiors
2021 Charity!
Elements IV Interiors is a Dayton-based minority-owned, 8(a) certified, small disadvantaged business that has specialized in the management of furniture contracts and projects of all size and scope.
Community Outreach
Elements IV Interiors is more than just a place to work. We consider ourselves a family. Our company’s commitment to community outreach programs are one thread in our culture’s fabric.
Our family believes in the giving of our time, talents and treasures to the community where we work and live. Each year we adopt one or two local not for profit organizations and hold annual fundraising events, volunteer at local events and provide in-kind donations of products and services to our adopted charities.
We were selected as the winner!
A child sleeping on a cold floor with nothing but a holy blanket. A newborn baby taken home to no crib. Children going to school with multiple bites from bed bug infestations. Mothers in despair because they are unable to provide a basic necessity for their children.
These are the faces of Snuggled Up Inc.
Our mission is simple, to provide beds and bedding to children dreaming on the floor. We have located hundreds of children who now, thanks to your generosity, have new beds as well as sheets, blankets, pillows and comforters to keep them warm at night. We give each child over 2 years old a sturdy cot with a washable mattress, a new pillow, new sheet set, and a new thick cuddly blanket. We call these items our “Snuggle Kits.”
The population we serve move frequently and need beds that can be easily transported. The Dayton area is also having horrible bed bug infestations, so our cots are easily cleaned and disinfected.
This past year we have seen tremendous growth due to continued community support and witnessed first hand that everyone is capable of making a difference in many extraordinary ways. Local businesses and organizations have supported us with donations and in-kind gifts for our fundraisers, children have forgone birthday gifts and have asked, instead, that donations be made to Snuggled Up Inc. Others have supported us with monetary donations and/or by attending one of our many fundraisers.
With each donation we receive 100% goes directly out into our community in support of Snuggled Up Inc.’s mission.
Thank you for your continued support of Snuggled Up Inc. Our passion and your generosity will transform lives!
