Young boy without bed

A Father's Simple Wish: A Bed for His Son

Donal's voice trembled when he called us. He wasn’t asking for much—just something every parent longs for: a peaceful night’s sleep for his little boy, Shane. After months of homelessness, Donal and Shane finally found a place to call home. But their new house is nearly empty—no furniture, just bare walls and a single bed they share each night.

Shane, a bright and joyful child, adores his father. Despite the struggles they’ve faced, he’s thriving in school. His resilience is nothing short of remarkable, but every child deserves more than resilience—they deserve comfort, safety, and the chance to dream in their own bed.

Right now, Donal’s greatest wish is to give his son that simple gift—a bed to sleep in.

We answered Donal's call, but we need your help to do more. Your donation to our Annual Appeal can provide essentials like beds, furniture, and hope for families like Donal and Shane, who are just trying to rebuild their lives after hardship.

Will you help us give them the comfort and peace they so deeply deserve?
