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."

Everyone has a story. At 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks, our employees have stories that are remarkable and inspirational! Sean has been with us for about six months, and it’s been a pleasure having him. Sean is moving to Chicago in August to attend school at Moody Bible Institute.

Sean shared some recent thoughts about his time at 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks, "Working here has been a nice experience. I feel we are family here. We are a lot of people with really nothing in common except Christ, and that brings us together as we support each other. I had a problem with addiction, but my life transformed when I totally turned to Christ. I really look up to Jason. He came from a point of only having 16 cents, to working hard, and now having three stores and being able to touch so many lives. I remember he hired me on the spot, and handed me a snow shovel. This is only the second job I've had where I can sit with my boss in his office and pray with him. Jason has refined me and helped me to become a better person. He holds me accountable to be thorough even in small things. I am very thankful to have worked here. I will miss my family I have made here."
