It's so easy to say 'someone else will do something.' I mean I even said it today. While waiting for the boys at school to finish up their restroom break I noticed that the trash was full and paper towels were over flowing. I thought to myself, "oh the janitor will take care of it tonight", but then I realized how lazy this was of me. Yes, I know this is a small example, but don't most things start out little? What did I do? Well, I didn't empty the trash, but I did pick up the few towels on the ground then I stepped on the rest to push them down to keep them under control for the rest of the day.
How does apply to the bigger picture in my life? Snuggled Up started out small with inflatable beds for children on the floor. Then I changed things up a bit and started giving more durable cots.
Why cots and NOT beds? Let me tell you. Snuggled Up Inc. isn't a 'forever' plan for most the families we help. We are a quick fix to get children immediatly off the floor. We give without question or applications. We give because some families can't have 'real' beds due to bug problems or because they honestly don't know how long they will be in one place. Moving frequently is normal for many families in the Miami Valley and Snuggle Kits (Cot, twin sheets, twin blanket, and thick blanket) are easy to pack up and leave if/when needed.
We are all in this together. My hopes are Snuggled Up provides in the 'now' and gives hope to the families for the future. We are a 501c3 who is passionate about others. So if we can all do a little to make a difference, just think how big of a difference we could all make. It might just be a cot to you, but to a child sleeping on a hard floor with roaches crawling on them----it's a place they can exhale and maybe catch a few winks.
Take care of each other,
