Valentines Winner

By dianahellismedia • February 18, 2024
Annual Valentine's Day Mattress Winner! We delivered Bailey's brand-new Immunity Queen Size Mattress Set valued at $2,999. She was the lucky winner of our annual Valentine's Day giveaway. "I'm very grateful that they can do this yearly," said Bailey. "It gives people a chance to do something for themselves. Like most parents, I put things on the back-burner if it doesn't involve my kids." Winning the mattress was just what she needed. The past few years have been challenging. "In late 2022, I left a really bad relationship. The majority of my belongings were tossed out or destroyed." Due to a work-related injury, Bailey's been out of work for over a year. After three surgeries, the doctors are unsure if she can return to her position as a medical assistant. "When I saw 16 Cents' Facebook post about the contest, I thought it could be an amazing opportunity to get a new bed," said Bailey. "I needed one but didn't have the funds for it. All our extra money goes straight to the kids." Bailey has been sleeping on an old mattress purchased several years ago and is looking forward to sleeping on the new one. "It was hard to believe we won until 16 Cents messaged me," said Bailey. "I'm looking forward to having a new mattress, let alone a whole new set. It's really special. I feel like this is going to be our year."

16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks is more than just a furniture store. The owner, Jason McSteen has been down the road of recovery for years. He was given a second chance, and he works to give back in many ways. Here’s another way Jason McSteen helps.

Corbin is from Huntington, Indiana where he lived a chaotic life with his family. His biological dad and step-mother lived a life of drugs, starting with pot, meth, and then heroine; soon the parents and 5 children were homeless. Corbin was living a hard life, similar to his parents. While somewhat attending school, Corbin played football, and became best friends with Brady. Brady Hill’s dad was the coach of the team and a local Pastor. Soon this Pastor’s family would become Corbin’s family.

One day Corbin’s biological dad and step mother left the five kids at the Hill’s home to watch for the night, but never came back. Abandoned and living in a completely different world, Corbin started attending church with the Hill family. He attended church for one year before giving his life to Christ, then continued this journey. During this time, Corbin and his 4 siblings were adopted through the court system by the Hill/Pastor’s home and Corbin cleaned himself up (he’s been clean for 4 years now.) Hen then came to Spokane, WA to attend the Moody Bible School. His goal is to become a Pastor, then to start planting churches. This is where Jason heard about Corbin’s GO FUND ME account.

When owner Jason McSteen found out he was trying to raise money for tuition, he gladly gave Corbin $1,500. “Corbin has overcome addiction and plans on serving others. I felt compelled to help”, said McSteen. Corbin was speechless and thankful after receiving this generous gift.

Corbin is now working at 16 Cents, 3 Shoes, & 5 Socks with Jason McSteen.

This is another person directly affected by the generosity from Jason McSteen and 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks. Jason continues selling furniture, beds, bedroom sets, tables and more to continue giving back.
