Amy & Aron's

You guys know how sentimental I get and when I find something inspiring, I must share. Awhile back I worked with a mattress company, Puffy. They have a great idea and I was more than happy to work with them.

Now, I am even more happy and actually proud to say I work with such an outstanding brand. For one their outstanding quality has already earned them a name in the mattress industry, they are donating beds to kids in need.

This is the time of year more and more people are feeling generous, I just can't believe how generous they are feeling. Their beds are not cheap. To give them away, WOW, that is a beautiful thing. Like I already said, it makes me proud to work with such an awesome brand.

How it works

They are getting the word out #JumpForKids is not just a hashtag, name, or some other generic thing. It means something. As I am sitting here tearing up, it means something beautiful. They are partnering with so many great organizations to provide beds for kids that don't have one. Just for a little insight on the increasing rates, 1 in 30 kids is homeless. That's over 2 million every year. If you are a parent like me, picture one of the kids in any of your kids' classes, is homeless.

Sleep is so important for kids during their development years. They need proper sleep for their brains and bodies to grow. It disrupts so many aspects of their lives. If a child doesn't get enough sleep, they will have a harder time learning, focusing, interacting socially, depression and more.

By helping provide a bed to a child, it's helping their overall well being and giving them a place to belong. Something they know they can come back to. Puffy is working with some great organizations to get these beds to the kids that need it most.


If it makes it easier to put a face on the problem at hand. For every 100 posts tagged with #JumpForKids, they are giving away a bed to a kid that needs one. Do you know how easy that really is?  Just make a post with #JumpForKids on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and a little one will get a bed. It really is that simple.

Let's do it. Let's make a difference. It's free, there is no cost to you, Puffy is taking care o all of that. Take a quick picture jumping into something. Jump into bed, jump in a puddle, jump on one foot, jump anywhere, share it with the hashtag #JumpForKids on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Every post counts.



My Mission

Making a difference in someone else's life. Making at least one person feel worth it. It's the little things in life we sometimes take for granted. I know I am guilty of complaining that I didn't sleep well for this reason or that, it's not because I don't have a bed to sleep in though.

Challenge your friends, family, coworkers, celebrities, and leaders to jump in on the cause and have important conversations about youth homelessness. Join us to jump start the movement. #jumpforkids
