Fifteen-year-old Jake from Springfield, MO, is full of life. He loves spending time with his big brother when he’s home from college, snuggling his dog, Dolly, and enjoying his favorite meal—cheeseburgers, fries, and a milkshake. Whether he’s riding the bus to school or exploring local parks, Jake embraces each day with joy. Born at just 25 weeks and weighing only 2.5 pounds, Jake has faced significant medical challenges, including cerebral palsy and epilepsy. Because he cannot sit up on his own, he needed a specialized safety bed with adjustable positioning, padding to protect against injury, and high rails to prevent falls. Until now, his family had to push furniture against his bed each night to create a makeshift barrier—an unsafe and unsustainable solution. That’s where A Bed for Izzy stepped in. Thanks to the generosity of the incredible community, Jake’s fundraising campaign ran from February 15 to February 25, 2025—and it was fully funded! Because of this outpouring of support, we were able to provide Jake with a bed designed specifically for his needs. Now, he can sleep safely, comfortably, and with the support he requires. More than just a bed, this gift represents peace of mind for his family and a true improvement in Jake’s quality of life. To everyone who donated, shared, and supported Jake's journey—thank you!

Thanks to the generosity of our community, Kinsley received a fully funded Cubby bed in July 2025!

In July 2025, Cruz’s dream of a safe place to sleep became a reality—thanks to the generosity of Hunter Property Management and the unwavering support of his community. Cruz is a fun-loving 6-year-old from the St. Louis area who can talk your ear off about the Disney movie CARS. His energy and enthusiasm are contagious, but behind his bright smile lies a complex medical journey. Cruz lives with Okur-Chung Neurodevelopmental Syndrome (OCNDS), a rare condition affecting only about 360 children worldwide. He also faces autism, ADHD, seizures, sleep apnea (both central and obstructive), pica, hypotonia, self-injurious behaviors, and depends on a feeding tube. On top of this, he’s at high risk for wandering, making nighttime especially dangerous.

For Cruz, a SleepSafe Closed Extension Bed—costing $7,785.52—wasn’t just a comfort, it was a necessity. This specialized bed would protect him from injury, prevent wandering, and reduce medical emergencies, giving his family peace of mind and Cruz the safety he deserves.

When the need was shared, the community rallied. Donations poured in, and with the incredible help of Hunter Property Management, the full cost of Cruz’s bed was funded. Today, Cruz sleeps safely each night, and his family rests knowing he’s protected. One bed. One child. One community at a time.

In July 2025, Johnny’s dream of a peaceful, safe sleep became a reality—thanks to the incredible generosity of Hunter Property Management. Johnny is a joyful and energetic 9-year-old from Springfield, MO. He lives with severe autism and faces profound sensory integration challenges, along with significant sleep disturbances that affect not only his daily life but his entire family’s well-being. Johnny’s sensory needs are complex—he avoids bright lights and loud sounds but craves constant movement and deep pressure. Large, open spaces make him anxious, and he finds comfort in small, dark spaces where he can feel secure. Even with therapies, medications, and a structured bedtime routine, sleep remained one of Johnny’s biggest struggles. Many nights he would wake as early as 3 or 4 a.m., unable to go back to sleep, often engaging in unsafe behaviors like climbing furniture, wandering, or emptying the fridge. What Johnny needed was a sleep environment designed just for him—a place to block out the sights and sounds that overwhelm him while offering the security and comfort his body craves. A ZPod bed was the answer. With its enclosed, sound-reducing design, customizable lighting, and built-in safety features, it could finally give Johnny the calm and regulated space he needed to rest. The $6,100 cost of a ZPod was out of reach for Johnny’s family—but when the need was shared, Hunter Property Management stepped in and fully funded the bed. Today, Johnny has the safe, supportive place to sleep that he deserves, and his family can finally rest knowing he’s protected. One bed. One child. One community at a time.

Eleanor is a strong and joyful 5-year-old from Mountain Grove, MO. She was born three months premature and faced significant challenges early in life, including surviving Shaken Baby Syndrome before finding her forever home with her biological father. Eleanor lives with autism, epilepsy with both generalized and focal seizures, global developmental delay, and nystagmus. She communicates in her own beautiful way and has a remarkable gift for drawing people in. Though she uses a walker and works hard to stand and walk independently, her determination never wavers — even when myoclonic jerks bring tears. Eleanor doesn’t give up and isn’t afraid of anything. She loves to play outside, splash in water, listen to music, and look at books. Wherever she goes, Eleanor brings joy to others — family, friends, or strangers — and always manages to make them smile. In November 2025, Eleanor’s campaign was fully funded, allowing her to receive a specialized Cubby Bed — a safe, enclosed bed designed to protect her from injury during seizures, keep her secure through the night, and give her family peace of mind.

Eleanor is a true survivor. Her strength and joy remind us what faith, love, and community can do together.
