Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) is excited to announce that we have partnered with The Giving Block and are now accepting crypto currency donations! This partnership allows crypto donors to donate to SHP quickly and easily.

This partnership comes as we enter the biggest giving season of the year. One of the best parts of this announcement is that Sleep in Heavenly Peace is now part of The Giving Block “Caring with Crypto” campaign which started October 26th. During this campaign, all crypto donations are matched up to $1,000,000.00! That means that your donation of $250 will now provide beds for two kids instead of just one, and a donation for 10 beds now provides 20!

Do you want to hear some fun facts that make us the most excited about crypto?

"I recall the day I first received my own bed after years of sleeping in shared beds, on couches, and on floors. I was middle school age and the oldest of five kids. My parents could barely afford food, let alone beds. It wasn't their fault. They were doing the best they could to provide for us. One day, a good samaritan gave my parents a big gift, and with that they were able to fill the cupboards, pay our rent, and take each of us to pick out our own beds from a furniture store. I remember my first night in that bed, feeling so overwhelmed with gratefulness and peace. I slept better than I could ever remember before, and I felt myself gaining more confidence and feeling more hopeful about life going forward," recalls Sarah W. "Sleep in Heavenly Peace didn't exist while I was growing up, but I know for a fact that they are just as needed today (if not more so) as they were then. Children who receive beds from SHP feel the same peace, gratefulness, and hope that I once did. And I'm sure they will treasure the memories of the day they received their beds just as I did. Giving a bed to a child is so much more than a physical change. It affects them emotionally and mentally in ways far beyond that- Giving them hope for a better future."
