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."

Annual Valentine's Day Giveaway for 2026!

Annual Valentine’s Day Giveaway for 2026


We’re grateful for the chance to help a young father and his 3-year-old son get back on their feet after a devastating fire.

Our 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks team couldn’t wait to deliver their brand-new Queen-Size Mattress set, valued at $2,999, that they won in our annual Valentine's Day Giveaway. But then we learned more about the tragedy Gaige Abrahamson and his son faced, and we were overwhelmed by his attitude and determination to piece together lives ripped apart by flames.

On January 14, 2026, Gaige lost everything, including his 89-year-old grandmother, when flames tore through the family’s home. We know he won’t soon forget her or how he tried to save her from the fire several times, only to lose her in the end. Gaige told us he carries her and the lessons she taught him in his heart.

Gaige’s mother and several others entered him in our Annual Valentine’s Day Giveaway. We could see the gratitude in his eyes when we pulled up with the mattress.

We know the prize can’t take away their pain and loss, but we are thankful we could deliver the new mattress set to them in Ford, Washington, and hope we played a small part in their healing.
