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 a furniture store with story. The story of Jason McSteen, owner and operator continues to grow. He works hard for the customers, his team, and community. As part of a community give-back, Jason helps where and when it makes most sense. Rick Clark of Giving Back Packs reaches out periodically for help with a homeless person. Rick’s mission is to provide back packs for homeless and love on them. Rick Clark was tagged in a social media post where a young woman was asking if anyone had a bed they did not need anymore. She was 6 months pregnant and had been without a bed for several months!

It was a very thoughtful and respectful post, and Rick could tell she was in need. It's hard to think of a pregnant mom sleeping on the ground. Rick reached out to 16 Cents, 3 Shoes, & 5 Socks. When he explained Samantha's situation, we were glad to help. We called Samantha and asked her what type of mattress she preferred and what size bed she wanted!

Thanks to the generous support of our customers, we delivered a new queen mattress set, frame, pillows, and bedding. She was very grateful!
