ENSURING SAFE SLEEP SOLUTIONS ONE BED AT A TIME.

Beau is a 6-year-old from Chaffee, Missouri, who is autistic (Level 3), nonverbal, and has no awareness of danger. Nights are especially hard—Beau wakes at unpredictable hours and can become destructive, breaking lights, ceiling fans, TVs, iPads, and toys. He is able to unlock most locks, figure out replacements, move bolted furniture, and has become dangerously fixated on electrical outlets, even injuring himself despite safety covers.
Because of the risk to Beau and his siblings, his parents have had to make incredibly difficult choices, including locking his bedroom door at night (documented with his ABA team) and, at one point, having Beau stay with his grandmother for a few days after his baby sister was born. One night, Beau broke his lock and was found holding his newborn sister—not out of harm, but love—highlighting just how unsafe nights can be without the right supports.
A specialized safety bed would give Beau a secure, purpose-built place to sleep, reducing the risk of injury, elopement, and access to dangerous items. For his parents, it would mean peace, rest, and the ability to sleep knowing their little boy is safe.
Beau loves lamps and ceiling fans, watching the family’s cameras on an iPad, throwing water balloons, playing with the dogs, and spending time with his siblings. He is energetic, curious, and determined—and deeply loved. For Beau, a safety bed isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. With your support, we can provide him a safe place to rest, grow, and thrive.

Eight-year-old Elaina lives in Maryland Heights in the St. Louis area. She has autism, ADHD (AudHD), anxiety, and pica, and she is nonverbal. Elaina uses a communication device to express her needs and requires constant supervision. When she’s overstimulated or not understood, she can become aggressive — a reflection of frustration, not her heart. Elaina has big loves and strong preferences. She adores 3-inch figurines, play food, and anything Minnie. She enjoys Puppy Dog Pals, Vampirina, Danny Go, Jack Hanna, Gracie’s Corner, and Simple Songs. Dirt, sand, rocks, water, bubbles, and balloons make her happy. Her tablet is her security blanket — and she never says no to soft pillows and blankets (she has plenty!).
Nights are the hardest part. Elaina struggles to regulate her body and often stims uncontrollably before finally falling asleep. She needs the TV on low to stay asleep and wakes immediately if it turns off. One parent sleeps beside her while the other stays on the couch to prevent wandering. She has even gotten up at night and flushed toys down the toilets, causing significant damage and safety concerns.
When Elaina visited the store to see a ZPod bed, she was in awe. The calming enclosure and soft lights immediately soothed her — leaving it caused a full meltdown.
Elaina will be receiving a ZPod bed to provide a safe, sensory-friendly space for rest and regulation. For her family, this bed means safety, peace of mind, and the hope of restful nights.
Help us bring calm and safe sleep to Elaina. 💛
