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."
When Embrace Washington
reached out to 16 Cents, 3 Shoes, & 5 Socks
about a grandma taking care of her four-year-old granddaughter in need of new furniture, we quickly offered a new sofa and dining room set for the family.
“I can’t believe it. We’re so excited about the new kitchen table. I love spending time at the table, eating, and sharing about our day. It’s such a gathering place,” said Dawn, the grandma taking care of her granddaughter.
In May, Dawn and her granddaughter woke up from a nap to find their house on fire. They escaped with just the clothes on their back and their sweet puppy.
“The whole thing was just horrible,” said Dawn.
Dawn and her granddaughter moved into a new apartment. However, they didn’t have any furniture until now. We’re honored to work with local organizations like Embrace Washington to support families and foster kids.
“The entire team at 16 Cents, 3 Shoes, & 5 Socks is amazing. We’re so grateful and couldn’t do this without our community partners,” said Alene Alexander with Embrace Washington.
