Become a "Sweet Dreams" Bed Sponsor

Become a "Sweet Dreams" Bed Sponsor

May 28, 2008

Sweet dreams is a wish for every child, but some of the children who come to Baptist Children’s Homes have never experienced a restful night. Their nights have been filled with fear and scary sounds, shivers and dampness, nightmares and long hours lying awake in the darkness.

At Baptist Children’s Homes, children find rest. Every evening they sit at dinner tables and enjoy good, nutritious meals. They bathe and dress in clean bed clothes. They fall asleep in warm, comfortable beds.

Christian men and women wrap their arms around children with a loving touch. They help them feel safe and encourage them to trust in a loving God who will keep them for all eternity.

Introducing a new giving oppor-tunity – become a “Sweet Dreams” Bed Sponsor! You can become an inaugural 2008 Bed Sponsor for a gift of only $120.00. Or sponsor a room with two beds for $240.00. Sponsor all the beds in a cottage for $1,200.00. This inaugural sponsorship is for the remainder of this year. In January 2009, you will have the first opportunity to renew your sponsorship for the year with a one-time gift of $300.00 a bed or a pledge of $25.00 per month per bed.

One thousand bed sponsors are needed during this inaugural offer.

Your sponsorship entitles you to have your name engraved on a plaque and the plaque mounted on a child’s bed for this introductory time period. Each night, your name can serve as a reminder to a boy that you are remembering him as he slips away to “sweet dreams.”

Your bed sponsor gift entitles your plaque to be a reminder until 2009. If you choose to continue to be a “Sweet Dreams” Bed Sponsor, your gift next year will assure that your plaque remains as a reminder to a child of your love and care for an additional 12 months. Gifts can be made in honor or memory of a special person.

Each plaque is a minimum 3 inches wide and 1.25 inches deep. Names are engraved. Imagine a child tucked into her bed and as she slips away to slumber every night your gift reminds her that you love her. She will be set for an evening of “sweet dreams.” Make your gift now! This inaugural offer is good only until July 18.
