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."

This story was featured on KHQ on April 23rd – A Spokane Valley 12-year-old proves that you’re never too young to start making a difference. After all, he decided to do something that most kids his age don’t even think of for his birthday.

Raesean Eaton asked for shoe donations for the Union Gospel Mission instead of presents.

“My goal is however many I can get,” he says.

It all started a year ago, after he and his mom went shopping at 16 Cents, 3 Shoes, and 5 Socks.

“Jason was there and I didn’t know who he was at first but he looked like my football coach from the back of him and I just went up to him saying hi,” he says.

But that chance encounter was everything. Jason told Resean his story, about how he was homeless once.

“He told me that the community helped him get back on his feet,” Raesean said.

So now, he’s hoping to make a difference.

“You can change the world by changing yourself first,” he says. “I want to be a person in the community helping somebody like how they helped him.”
